At  a regular  monthly  meeting  of  the  Hibernian 
Society,  held  on  the  5th  of  November,  18G7,  James 
H.  Murrell  offered  the  following  Preamble  and 
Resolutions : 

Inasmuch  as  the  Rules  of  the  Society  have  entirely  given 
out,  and  as  it  is  a matter  of  much  importance  that  we  should 
have  a sufficient  supply,  be  it,  therefore, 

Resolved,  That  the  present  Rules  be  referred  to  a commit- 
tee of  three  of  the  Society,  for  their  necessary  revision,  and 
the  furnishing  of  a proper  number  of  the  same  for  the  use  of 
the  Society. 

Resolved,  further,  That  the  committee  on  the  revision  and 
supply  of  the  Rules  be  also  charged  with  the  duty  of  fur- 
nishing, for  the  use  of  the  Society,  proper  Certificates  of 
Membership,  our  supply  having  been  entirely  exhausted. 

The  President  then  nominated  the,  following 
Committee:  Gen.  James  Conner,  Charles  H.  Simon- 
ton,  and  M.  P.  O’Connor,  to  which  was  added,  at 
the  request  of  the  Society,  the  name  of  James  H. 
Murrell,  who  expressed  a desire,  on  offering  the 
Resolution,  that  he  might  be  excused  from  serving- 
on  the  committee. 

At  a subsequent  regular  monthly  meeting  of  the 
Society,  held  on  the  3rd  of  March,  1868,  after  the 
revised  Rules  had  been  read  and  adopted,  Wm.  L. 
King  offered  the  following  Resolution : 

Resolved,  That  the  Chair  appoint  a committee  of  three, 
whose  duty  it  shall  be  to  superintend  tho  printing  of  the 
Rules  just  read  and  adopted,  and  that  the  said  committee 
also  superintend  the  lithographing  or  engraving  of  the  Cer- 
tificates of  Membership.

The  Chair  then  appointed  Wm.  L.  King,  Gen. 
James  Conner,  and  M.  P.  O’Connor  a Committee 
on  Printing. 

After  some  discussion  as  to  the  number  of  cop- 
ies that  would  be  required,  a resolution  to  print

In  the  Senate  House,  the  nineteenth  day  of  December,  in  the 
year  of  our  Lord,  one  thousand  eight  hundred  and  five,  and 
of  the  Independence  of  the  United  States  of  America  the 
thirtieth. 

ROBERT  BARNWELL, 

President  of  the  Senate. 

JOSEPH  ALSTON, 

Speaker  of  the  House  cf  Representatives. 


The  Hibernian  Society  op  Charleston,  South 
Carolina,  having  been  fully  organized  on  the  17th 
of  March,  1801,  adopted  for  its  regulation  such 
Rules  as  it  deemed  then  proper  for  its  circum- 
stances, and  also  the  following: 

The  happiness  of  men  upon  earth  and  the  pro- 
motion of  their  choicest  interests  are  ordained  by 
providence  to  depend  on  their  mutual  aid  and  har- 
monious union. 

Impressed  with  this  acknowledged  sentiment,  a 
few  friends  of  enlightened  minds  and  disinterested 
views  conceived  the  idea  of  associating  for  the  pur- 
pose of  true  enjoyment  and  useful  beneficence.  To 
promote  this  two-fold  object,  they  assumed  the 
style  and  title  of  the  Hibernlan  Society;  a name 
honorable  to  its  institutors,  and  grateful  to  their 
national  feelings.  They  likewise  adopted  such  tem- 
porary regulations  as  were  highly  conducive  to  the 
selection  of  worthy  members  and  the  dignified  con- 
duct of  the  association. 

Their  object  met  with  deserved  approbation,  and 
many  other  gentlemen  of  equally  liberal  views  and 
honorable  sentiments  desired  the  satisfaction  of 
uniting  in  the  same  laudable  cause.  The  Society, 


8 HIBERNIAN  SOCIETY. 


therefore,  from  its  original  principle  and  subse- 
quent encouragement,  is  now  emboldened  to  hope 
for  permanence  and  success.  To  ensure  both,  the 
following  resolutions  appear  most  expedient,  and 
are  unanimously  adopted  as  fundamental  and  con- 
stitutional rules : 

“As  beneficence  too  widely  diffused  ceases  to  be 
a virtue,  the  Society  considers  some  specific  object 
necessary  to  be  adopted;  and,  as  among  the  num- 
ber of  cases  on  which  benevolence  may  be  worthily 
exercised,  the  assistance  of  distressed  emigrants 
from  Ireland  appears  most  prominent,  the  Society 
does  adopt  relief  to  this  description  of  persons  as 
their  primary  object.  Intimately  connected  with 
this  is  their  wish  to  promote  social  harmony  and 
friendly  intercourse  with  each  other;  thus  blending 
the  happiness  of  assisting  others,  with  the  promo- 
tion of  their  ovTn  felicity.”

The  following  Report  of  the  commencement  and  progress 
of  this  Society,  from  1799  to  1841,  was  read  by  Thos.  Ste- 
phens, Fsq. , and,  on  motion,  Resolved,  That  the  same  be  en- 
tered on  the  minutes: 

This  Society  commenced  on  the  17th  March,  1799.  It  was 
originated  by  eight  generous  Irishmen,  not  long  arrived,  viz : 
Thomas  Malcom,  Edward  Courtnay,  William  Hunter, 
James  Hunter,  Joseph  Crombie,  Andrew  Smylie,  James 
Quinn,  and  John  S.  Adams,  who,  according  to  the  poet, 
Craets,  met  heart  in  hand,  at  each  other’s  residence,  every 
second  Thursday,  to  converse  and  to  contribute  towards  a 
fund  to  relieve  distressed  emigrants;  and  every  fourth  Thurs- 
day, engaged  themselves  in  sentiment,  and  song,  and  supper; 
and  so  continued  to  meet  until,  from  increased  numbers,  it 
became  more  convenient  to  assemble  at  some  hotel,  when, 
on  the  26th  September,  1779,  they  met  at  Mr.  Burger’s,  in 
Queen  Street,  in  order  to  adopt  a Constitution  and  Rules; 
and  subsequently,  in  1801,  fixed  upon  a Seal  and  Motto. 

The  words  of  Dido  in  her  speech  to  TEneas,  “ Non  ignara 
mail,  miseris  succurrere  disco  ” were  chosen,  and  a Iiarp  for 
their  Seal,  as  most  appropriate.  [For  particulars  of  Motto 
Seal,  Standard,  and  Badge,  see  Rule  XI,  p.  13].  Also,  re- 
solved to  meet  on  Tuesday  hereafter,  and  determined  that 
these  meetings  should  assume  no  political  or  religious  char- 
acter that  might  allow  of  questions  on  those  points  to  be 
discussed,  at  the  same  time  there  should  be  no  restraint  on 
private  conversation;  their  object  being  the  promotion  of 
social  intercourse,  harmony,  and  good  will,  and  the  estab- 
lishment of  a fund  for  benevolent  and  praiseworthy  pur- 
poses. 


HIBERNIAN  SOCIETY.  49 


The  fee  of  admission  at  first  was  two  dollars,  and  the 
monthly  subscription  fifty  cents,  (with  fines  for  non-attend- 
ance), to  be  paid  to  the  Treasurer  in  advance;  and,  consid- 
ering the  very  existence  of  the  Society  to  depend  much  on 
punctuality,  it  was  ordered  that  no  arrears  should  be  allowed, 
and  that  members  absent  three  months  and  in  arrears  so  long 
should  be  expelled. 

On  the  first  of  June,  1802,  the  Society  still  increasing, 
moved  to  Corbet’s  thatched  cabin,  Meeting  Street,  nearly 
opposite  their  present  Hall,  and  met  there  until  1804,  dining 
together  every  anniversary,  and  fining  absentees  in  the  sum 
of  three  dollars,  thus  proving  the  importance  attached  by 
them  to  anniversary  entertainments  as  mainly  conducive  to 
the  prosperity  of  the  Society.  Members  from  the  first  paid 
cheerfully  for  the  dinner,  but  of  late  years,  (that  is  before 
building),  in  consideration  of  ample  funds,  the  expense,  by 
common  consent,  was  made  a charge  on  the  Society  under  a 
rule  which  would  now  require  alteration  should  members  be 
subjected  to  payment  as  formerly. 

For  general  information  and  in  justice  to  the  original 
members,  it  may  be  said  their  time  was  in  a day  of  fre- 
quent arrivals  from  Ireland,  and  constantly  occurring  dis- 
tress needing  great  and  immediate  relief;  their  treasury  at 
the  same  time  low,  and  no  especial  charity  fund  until  long 
after,  in  1826,  the  benevolent  trust  of  that  much  loved  son 
of  Erin,  Judge  Burke,  came  in  aid  of  the  Society,  and  sub- 
sequently the  donations  by  will  of  Walter  Goodman  and 
Simon  Magwood,  Esquires,  and  within  the  last  year,  very 
liberal  sums  from  esteemed  members  now  with  us;  never- 
theless, almost  every  case  of  distress  was  promptly  met  by 
members  among  themselves,  and  when  further  necessary,  by 
collections  among  their  countrymen;  but  in  the  progress  of 
the  Society,  having  drawn  upon  their  capital  too  often  to  get 
ahead,  it  was  resolved  that  no  draw  nor  expenditure  should 
be  allowed  until  the  Capital  Stock  should  amount  to  S3, 000; 
in  1808,  to  $5,000;  again,  in  1810,  to  $10,000;  in  1817,  to 
$20  000;  and  soon  after,  even  to  $50,000,  having  reference 
to  the  relief  of  the  widows  and  orphans  of  (deceased  mem-

bers,  and  also  with  view  to  a building.  Also,  resolved  to 
increase  the  admission,  from  time  to  time,  in  proportion  to 
the  existing  funds;  for  example,  the  admission  which  com- 
menced with  two  dollars,  was,  in  1801,  raised  to  five;  in  1807, 
to  ten;  in  1812,  to  fifteen;  and  in  1818,  to  twenty  dollars,  and 
has  so  remained  ever  since.

Hall,  Meeting  Street,  took  place  on  the  18th.  being  the  festi- 
val of  St.  Patrick.  A very  numerous  procession,  under  es- 
cort of  the  Irish  Volunteers,  composed  of  St.  Andrew’s  So- 
ciety, South  Carolina  Society,  Fellowship  Society,  German 
Friendly  Society,  St.  George’s  Society,  Mechanic’s  Society, 
Hebrew  Orphan  Society,  French  Benevolent  Society,  New 
England  Society,  Charleston  Marine  Society,  Typographical 
Society,  Der  Deutschen  Freundschafts  Bund,  Hebrew  Benev- 
olent Society,  St.  Patrick’s  Benevolent  Society,  Hibernian 
Society,  Officers  and  Soldiers  of  the  Revolution,  the  Rev. 
Clergy,  Members  of  the  National  and  State  Legislatures,  the

Adger  ancl  Wm.  A.  Cardwell,  Esquires,  President  and  Vice- 
President  of  the  Hibernian  Society,  assisted  by  the  Building 
Committee,  then  proceeded  to  make  the  deposit  usual  on 
such  occasions,  and  to  lay  the  Corner  Stone.  This  rite  hav- 
ing been  performed,  the  Right  Rev.  Bishop  England  deliv- 
ered an  appropriate,  impressive,  and  eloquent  address,  in 
which  he  adverted  to  the  origin  of  the  Hibernian  Society, 
with  a few  Irish  emigrants  in  1798,  for  the  purposes  of  be- 
nevolence, hospitality,  and  social  enjoyment,  and  traced  its 
progrsss  down  to  its  present  high  and  palmy  state  of  pros- 
perity, embracing  in  its  ranks  numerous  descendants  of  the 
original  settlers  of  South  Carolina  and  the  generous  sons  of 
every  clime,  tie  drew  a contrast,  too,  between  the  humble 
Thatched  Cottage,  (nearly  opposite  the  now  selected  site),  in 
which  it  originally  met,  and  the  noble  edifice,  which  will  soon 
give  it  a local  habitation,  as  well  as  a name,  and  tower  in 
pride  among  the  architectural  ornaments  of  the  city.  The 
Reverend  Orator  took  occasion  also  to  allude  to  the  coming 
destiny  of  our  city,  which  already  casts  its  glorious  shadow 
before  auguring  her  future  rivalry  of  ancient  Tyre,  in  com- 
merce, wealth,  and  architectural  glory.  He  concluded  with 
a touching  reference  to  the  gratitude  and  devotion  of  the 
emigrant,  whether  of  Green  Erin  or  of  any  other  clime,  to 
his  adopted  country — his  new  Clash  la  ma  Chree. 


Opening-  of  the  Hibernian  Hall. 

Extract  from  Daily  Courier  of  January  22,  1841. 

A numerous  and  brilliant  attendance  of  both  sexes,  com- 
bining the  beauty,  fashion,  and  intelligence  of  the  city  wit- 
nessed the  interesting  ceremony  of  opening  this  noble  and 
splendid  edifice,  on  Wednesday  night  last.  Notwithstanding 
the  unfavorable  weather,  there  were  upwards  of  twenty-five 
hundred  persons  present,  more  than  the  immense  Ballroom, 
some  eighty  feet  long  by  fifty-five  wide,  could  conveniently 
accomodate.  An  able  and  eloquent  address  was  delivered  on 


HIBERNIAN  SOCIETY.  53 


the  occasion  by  the  Eight  Eev.  Bishop  England,  in  which 
Green  Erin  and  her  generous  sons  were  the  theme  of  praise, 
and  history,  poetry,  and  anecdote,  were  put  under  happy 
contribution  to  illustrate  the  bravery,  fidelity,  and  other 
noble  qualities  of  the  Irishman,  whether  exhibited  in  the 
oppressed  land  of  his  nativity,  or  the  free  home  of  his  adop- 
tion, to  which  love  of  liberty  has  drawn  and  bound  him  with 
ties  as  strong,  if  not  stronger  than  those  of  birth.  The 
Bishop,  in  the  course  of  his  address,  humorously  observed 
that  Irishmen  were  entitled  to  the  full  benefit  of  the  princi- 
ple which  the  world  ascribed  to  them,  that  of  the  bull,  and 
might,  therefore,  well  be  allowed  the  claim  of  being  natives 
of  two  countries — one  native  land,  v'hich  their  fathers  had 
given  them,  and  another,  which  they  chose  to  be  born  in 
themselves,  and  added  an  anecdote  related  by  John  Quincy 
> Adams,  that  on  his  meeting  with  a party  of  Irish  emigrants, 
who  had  been  tw'o  or  three  years  in  this  country,  and  asking 
them  how  they  were  pleased  with  it,  they  replied:  “they 
liked  it  so  -well,  that  they  intended  to  become  natives , ” The 
address  was  closed  by  a brief  allusion  to  the  chief  objects 
and  purposes  of  the  Society — fraternal  intercourse,  convivial 
relaxation,  and  charity,  exhibited  in  the  form  of  relief  to 
the  Irish  emigrant — a charity,  in  which  not  only  native  Irish- 
men, and  the  descendants  of  Irishmen,  but  South  Carolinians, 
and  natives  of  every  clime,  who  had  gathered  under  the  wings 
of  the  Bird  of  Liberty,  had  cheerfully  united.  After  the  de- 
livery of  the  address,  which  was  received  -with  great  applause, 
and  gave  high  gratification  to  the  audience,  the  company 
partook  of  refreshments  elegantly  and  tastefully  served  up 
for  the  ladies  in  the  spacious  dining  room.  On  re-assembling 
in  the  hall,  the  inspiring  music  of  the  attending  band  awoke 
the  spirit  of  the  dance,  and  the  votaries  of  Terpsichore  trip- 
ped it  on  the  light  fantastic  toe,  until  about  midnight,  -when 
the  company  retired,  highly  pleased  with  the  varied  forms  of 
the  evening’s  gratification. 

The  Hibernian  Hall  is  a magnificent  structure;  the  noble 
proportions  of  its  exterior,  and  the  chaste  decorations  of  its 
interior  rendering  it  one  of  the  chief  architectural  ornaments 
of  our  city.

BENJAMIN  HUGER. 

President  of  the  Senate. 

PATRICK  NOBLE, 

Speaker  of  the  House  of  Representatives. 


On  the  6th  January,  1819,  a number  of  gentlemen, 
natives  of  New  England,  united  themselves  into  a 
Society  for  the  purpose  of  keeping  alive  in  their 
minds  the  memory  of  the  land  of  their  birth,  and 
the  institutions  handed  down  from  their  fathers.  . 
i Another,  a higher  object  with  them,  was  to  organize 
an  efficient  system  of  relief  for  such  of  the  sons  of 
New  England  as  might  be  arrested  by  the  hand  of 
disease  or  chill  penury  in  this  City.  Under  a Char- 
ter granted  them  by  the  Legislature  of  this  State, 
they  formed  the  New  England  Society. 

Of  that  band  of  kind  hearts  and  noble  spirits,  none 
now  remain  to  witness  the  triumphant  progress  of  the 
institution  which  they  first  put  into  action.  Death 
has  been  busy  among  them  ; Time  has  laid  his  hand 
on  one  after  another  of  the  group  ; and  they  have  ] 
gradually  fallen  asleep,  and  rested  from  their  good 
works  below.  Resignations  from  various  causes, 
removals  from  the  sphere  of  the  Society’s  action, 
have  still  more  reduced  the  list  of  the  fathers  of  this 
Society.  But,  as  from  one  cause  or  another,  mem- 
bers have  fallen  off,  their  place  has  been  supplied  by 
new  accessions.  The  veterans  have  retired  and  their 
posts  been  filled  with  enthusiastic  recruits,  until 
now  the  roll  of  this  Society  comprehends  a number 
almost  as  large  as  any  Society  of  like  nature  em- 
braces. Nor  have  the  sons  of  New  England  been 
the  only  ones  that  have  pledged  themselves  to  its 


NEW  ENGLAND  SOCIETY.  5 


high  duties.  Among  us  are  many  who  claim  no 
heritage  in  the  Rock  of  Plymouth,  in  whose  veins 
flows  none  of  the  blood  of  the  Pilgrims. 

The  virtues  of  those  to  whom  we  annually  pay  the 
tribute  of  respectful  recollection  are  the  common 
property  of  all.  The  earnest  unselfishness  ; the 
} strong,  thorough,  devout  reliance  on  God  and  their 
! own  hearts;  the  hopest,  straightforward  industry  ; the 
severe  morality  of  the  Puritan  Fathers,  are  no  mere 
village  tradition,  not  circumscribed  by  narrow  sec- 
tional limits.  Their  names  and  their  deeds  glow 
burningly  and  forever  bright  on  the  proudest  page 
where  Christian  heroism  is  inscribed,  and  in  doing 
honor  to  them,  we  do  honor  to  human  nature. 

The  charities,  too,  which  we  exercise,  are  so  con- 
} sonant  with  all  the  gentler  impulses  of  the  heart — so 
true  to  the  loftiest  precepts  of  religion  and  of  morals, 
that  whoso  lends  his  hand  to  aid  them  feels  gladly 
conscious  that  he  lends  his  powers  to  the  alleviation 
of  undeserved  misery,  and  assists  to  make  the  heart 
of  the  desolate  and  forlorn,  the  stranger  in  a strange 
land  sing  for  joy. 

Animated  by  these  pure  sentiments,  directed  to 
the  same  great  end,  the  different  elements  of  which 
| our  Society  is  composed  harmonize  to  produce  one 
j noble  result ; and  the  steady  increase  of  our  numbers, 
the  cordial  co-operation  which  exists  among  us,  shew 
| that  in  emulating  the  example  of  the  Pilgrim  Fathers 
j in  all  things  good,  we  follow  them  not  when  leading 
to  narrow  and  sectional  conclusions.

OLDEST  IN  THE  SOUTHERN  STATES. 


The  St  Andrew’s  Society  Celebrates  its 
One  Hundred  and  Sixty-first  Birthday, 
j St  Andrew’s  Day  was  observed  in  Charleston 
yesterday  by  a united  Episcopal  service  at  the 
Holy  Communion  Church  in  the  morning  and 
a banquet  given  by  the  St  Andrew’s  Society, 
at  the  South  Carolina  Hall,  last  evening.  Tha 
services  yesterday  morning  were  conducted  by 
the  Rev  A.  Toomer  Porter,  D.  D.,  ana  tne  ser- 
mon, which  was  eloquent  and  appropriate,  was 
preached  by  the  Rev  John  Gass,  assistant 
of  Grace  Church.  At  the  conclusion  of  the 
sermon  the  communion  was  administered  by 
the  Rev  Dr  Porter. 

The  banquet  at  the  South  Carolina  Hall  last 
evening  marked  the  one  hundred  and  sixty- 
first  anniversary  of  the  St  Andrew’s  Society 
of  South  Carolina,  the  oldest  social  organiza- 
tion in  the  State,  and  probably  in  the  South- 
ern States. 

Just  prior  to  the  banquet  the  annual  elec- 
tion for  officers  was  held  and  resulted  as  fol- 
lows: President,  A.  S.  Johnson;  first  vice  pres- 
ident, Alex  W.  Marshall;  s cond  vice  presi- 
dent, H.  W.  DeSaussure;  treasurer,  R.  B. 
Dowie,  and  secretary,  J.  Alev  Gordon. 

The  banquet  table,  which  was  T shaped,  was 
spread  in  the  upper  hall  and  was  presided  over 
by  Ma.ior  Alex  W.  Marshall  in  the  absence  of 
President  Johnson.  On  Major  Marshall’s  right 
was  tlie  Rev  John  Johnson,  D.  D.,  and  upon 
bis  left  Mayor  George  D.  Bryan. 

Mr  A.  Markley  Lee  presided  at  the  foot  of 
! the  table.  Major  Marshall,  Mayor  Bryan,  Mr 
, \\  m Muir  and  Capt  John  L.  Weber  announced 
the  toasts  of  the  evening  and  the  respondents 
as  follows: 

The  Day  we  Celebrate — Emblematic  of  all 
tliat  is  good  and  noble,  a power  in  the  laud. 
Memories  ever  fresh  and  green.  A call  to 
highest  aspirations.  Response  by  Mr  J.  P.  K. 
Bryan,  a member. 

The  Queen  of  Great  Britain  and  Ireland— 
May  her  gracious  Majesty  long  live  to  cheer 
and  prosper  her  people,  and  be,  as  she  has 
ever  been,  their  guiding  star.  Response  by  H. 
B.  M.  consul,  Charles  L.  St  John. 

The  United  States— A home  for  all  nations. 
The  protector  of  her  people.  Response  by  Mr 
T.  Pinckney  Lowndes,  assistant  secretary  gen- 
eral of  the  Cincinnati  Society. 

The  State  of  South  Carolina— A State  of 
, hallowed  memories.  Glorious  in  its  past.  Its 
watchword  '‘Onward.”  Response  by  Mr  A. 
M.  Lee,  of  tbe  South  Carolina  Society. 

The  City  of  Charleston— “The  City  by  the 
Sea.”  Who  can  picture  the  grand  future  that 
is  even  now  at  her  doors?  The  coming  port  of 
our  country.  All  eyes  are  turned  to  her.  Re- 
sponse by  the  Hon  George  D.  Bryan,  Mayor  of 
Charleston. 

Our  Sister  Societies— Upheld  by  their  touch  j 
of  friendship  and  love,  and  with  cordial  greet- 
ings, the  old  St  Andrew’s  Society  rejoices  to 
st  e so  goodly  a representation  from  our  kin- 
dred organh  ations.  May  then'  faces  never  be 


m 


absent  from  our  DOara.  Response  by  Mr  \Y. 
St  Julien  Jeivey,  president  Huguenot  Siciety. 

Tbe  second  toast  was  drank  standing  as  bar 
British  Majesty’s  Consul  Mr  St.John,  who  was 
to  have  responded  to  it,  was  prevented  by  sick- 
ness from  attending.  The  Rev  Dr  Charles  S. 
Tedder  responded  in  his  usual  felicitious 
manner  to  nnpiomtu  calls  for  the  representa- 
tive of  the  Pilgrim  Fathers,  the  New  England 
Society. 

Among  those  gentlemen  who  were  specially 
invited  but  who  were  compelled  to  send  letters 
of  regret  were  the  Rev  C.  C.  Pinckey,  D.  D., 
president  of  the  Society  of  the  Cincinnati, 
Cant  James  F.  Redding,  president  of  the 
Bib.  rnian  Society,  and  Col  Ashnry  Coward, 
enpi  rintendent  of  the  South  Carolina  Military 
Academy. 

Mr  Edward  Plengesang  “Annie  Laurie,”  Mr 
Mickle  sang  “Coming  thro’  the  Rye,”  and  Mr 
Ransom  lecited,  with  excellent,  effect,  the 
well-known  extri  ct  from  Scott’s  Marniion: 
“Breathes  there  a man  with  soul  so  dead.” 

The  St  Andrew  s Society,  which  celebrated 
its  one  hundred  and  sixry-nrst  anniversary 
last  night,  includes  in  its  membership  some  of 
the  oldest  families  in  the  city  and  Slate. 

Except  the  references  in  the  G-ospel  there 
is  very  little  information  in  existence  regard- 
ing the  life  and  travels  of  St  Andrew  which 
will  stand  the  test  of  critical  inquiry.  The 
name  Andrew  is  of  Greek  origin,  and  has 
been  interpreted  as  meaning  a brave  man.  In 
this  respect  tbe  name  commended  itself  for 
adoption  as  that  of  tbe  patron  saint  of  a brave 
people  like  the  Scotch.  St  Andrew  was  barn 
m Bethsaida,  and  came  of  a family  of  fish- 
ers. It  is  only  a matter  of  conjecture  that 
ho  was  born  about  B.  C.  10.  He  ranked  as 
the  first  worker  as  well  as  the  first  called 
among  tbe  disciples,  and  this  fact  has 
won  for  him  the  title  of  “Rock  before  the 
rock.”  Andrew  brought  his  brother  Peter  to 
the  Messiah.  From  the  time  he  was  called  to 
he  an  apostle  he  remained  near  his  Master 
until  the  end.  The  foremost  characteristic  of 
St  Andrew  was  his  charity  and  loyalty.  These 
two  features  characterize  the  sons  of  St  An- 
diew  in  the  present  day,  and  no  countrymei 
or  countrywomen  connected  with  the  kindly 
organizations  of  St  At  drew  s societies,  no. 
matter  how  poor,  is  permitted  to  sleep  after 
death  in  1 he  potter’s  field.  After  the  Cruci- 
fixion St  Andrew  is  suppes  ;d  to  have  visited 
Europe,  and  even  Scotland.  The  influence 
which  his  memory  gained  upon  Scotland  was 
never  lost,  and  has  been  felt  in  many  way3. 
He  represents  the  patriotism  of  the  Scotchmen 
at  he  me  and  serves  as  a bond  of  union  abroad. 
Wherever  a few  Scots  or  their  descendants  can 
be  gathered  together  they  are  generally  or- 
ganized under  the  name  of  a St  Andrew’s  so- 
ciety, and  of  these  associations  national  senti- 
ment and  charity  are  the  usual  features.

OF  THE

INCORPORATED  IN  179?. 


CHARLESTON: 

EWD,  PERRY,  PRINTER,  STATIONER  AND  BOOKSELLER,  155  MEETING  STREET.

P a E E A C E . 


To  alleviate  the  cares  of  life;  to  endear  men  to  one 
another;  and,  by  mutual  assistance  and  advice,  to  prevent 
or  remedy  those  evils  which  are  incident  to  our  condition, 
constitute  the  design  of  every  social  institution.  Animated 
with  these  views,  a number  of  gentlemen,  in  the  year  1729, 
formed  themselves  into  a Society,  for  the  purpose  of 
cultivating  and  maintaining  “a  good  understanding  and 
acquaintance  with  one  another,”  which,  as  most  of  the 
original  members  were  natives  of  Scotland,  they  named 
the  ST.  ANDREW’S  CLUB.  Far,  however, -from  being 
limited  in  their  choice  of  members  by  national  prejudices 
and  party  distinctions,  they  placed  the  foundation  of  their 
institution  upon  a broad  and  liberal  basis,  and  declared 
that  “any  man  of  honor  and  integrity,  of  what  nation, 
degree  or  profession  soever,”  was  admissible  into  their 
Society. 

Considering  the  wonderful  effects  which  the  united 
efforts  of  many,  steadily  directed  to  one  object,  are  capable 
of  producing — also,  the  rapidity  with  which  even  a small 
sum,  regularly  paid,  and  placed  at  interest,  accumulates 
with  proper  management— they  agreed,  by  small  annual 
and  quarterly  payments,  to  raise  a common  fund,  as  a 
provision  for  the  relief  of  present  want,  and  a security 
against  future  misfortune.  The  Society  flourished;  the 
fund  rapidly  increased ; many  poor  and  destitute  persons 
were  relieved  by  its  bounty;  and  it  was  at  last  contem- 
plated to  render  the  Society  more  permanent,  and  its 


IV 


PREFACE. 


charity  more  effectual  and  extensive,  by  founding  an 
institution  for  the  clothing  and  education  of  poor  and 
orphan  children.  But  the  ivar,  and  the  consequent 
changes  which  soon  took  place,  prevented,  for  a time,  the 
execution  of  this  benevolent  intention.  The  meetings  of 
the  Society  were  suspended,  and  its  fund,  from  obvious 
causes,  nearly  destroyed.  At  the  restoration  of  peace,  the 
St.  Andrew’s  Club  again  assembled,  and  it  soon  appeared 
that,  as  this  Society  was,  of  all  the  charitable  associations 
in  this  State,  the  first  in  its  institution,  it  would  not  be  the 
last  in  respectability  and  importance.  The  great  accession 
of  new  members,  and  the  consequent  increase  of  its  fund, 
enabled  it  again  to  stretch  forth  its  hand  to  the  relief  of 
the  indigent  and  unfortunate. 

It  was  now  resolved  to  extend  the  charities  of  the 
Society.  They  had  hitherto  been  applied  generally  to  the 
relief  of  the  poor,  and  only  occasionally  to  the  assistance  of 
the  widows  and  orphans  of  members.  It  was  determined 
to  establish  a school  for  the  education  of  the  children  of 
indigent  parents.  The  members,  for  the  purpose,  cheer- 
fully consented  to  augment  their  annual  contributions,  and 
many  of  them  made  very  liberal  donations  to  a school 
fund.  In  a short  time,  with  prudent  zeal  and  judicious 
management,  a large  sum  was  collected.  The  school  went 
into  successful  operation.  It  was  tho  instrument  of  much 
good,  and  continued  its  usefulness,  until  the  wise  benevo- 
lence of  our  Legislature  established  the  system  of  free 
schools,  and  rendered  that  of  the  Society  no  longer 
necessary.  The  funds  subscribed  for  its  support  were 
then,  with  the  unanimous  consent  of  the  members  who  had 
contributed  them,  dedicated  to  the  other  charitable  objects 
of  the  Society,  and  the  income  of  an  increased  and  con- 
stantly increasing  capital,  is  now  applied  in  assisting  the 
needy  and  distressed,  and  in  relieving  the  wants  of  the 
widow  and  the  orphan.

In  order  to  secure  the  continuance  and  promote  the 
usefulness  of  the  Society,  in  1798  a petition  for  its  incorpo- 
ration was  presented  to  the  Legislature.  The  prayer  of 
the  petition  was  granted,  and  the  Society  incorporated  for 
a limited  time.  This  time  was  subsequently  extended  by 
the  Legislature,  and,  finally,  in  1817,  an  act  was  passed, 
repealing  the  clauses  in  the  former  acts  limiting  their 
duration,  and,  consequently,  conferring  on  the  Society  the 
right  of  perpetual  incorporation.  By  these  acts,  the  cor- 
poration is  entitled  to  hold  property  in  perpetuity  to  the 
value  of  eighty  thousand  dollars.  It  enjoys  all  the  immu- 
nities and  privileges  of  other  charitable  incorporations. 
Its  pemanent  funds  are  safely  and  profitably  invested  in 
its  own  name,  and  can  only  be  disposed  of  according  to  its 
own  rules.  The  Society  has  completed  its  one  hundred 
and  fortieth  year.  Its  means  of  usefulness  are  greatly 
increased,  and  their  permanency  secured — so  far  as  by 
human  foresight  they  can  be  secured — to  the  community. 
May  this  permanency  continue,  and  that  usefulness 
increase,  so  long  as  brotherly  love  and  charity  are  required 
to  soothe  the  sorrows  and  relieve  the  wants  of  the  great 
family  of  mankind.

orable as  it  has  been  eventful,  is  well  worthy 
of  being  told  and  re-told.  The  Society  was 
originally  founded  in  the  year  1729,  and  was 
not  at  first  intended  to  be  exclusively  Scotch, 
though  the  founders  were  chiefly  natives  of 
Scotland.  Their  principal  design,  as  the 
records  show,  was  “to  promote  some  public 
good  by  the  joint  endeavors  of  a number  of  . 
people.” 

The  Society  started  with  a membership  of  j 
sixty,  and  an  excellent  code  of  rules,  which,  it  1 
is  interesting  to  note,  was  printed  for  them  in  i 
London,  England,  by  a Scotch  printer  who 
proudly  designated  himself  “Bibliopola  ad  [ 
societatem.”  From  the  first  the  “Saints”  were  1 
favored  with  prosperity,  and  among  their  i 
earliest  recruits  were  the  Royal  Governor  of  , 
the  colony,  the  Chief  Justice  and  the  Speaker  ■ 
of  the  House  of  Representatives.  The  first  i 
president  bore  the  good  Scotch  name  of  Skene,  j 
and  he, was  succeeded  by  the  Hon  James  Aber- 
crombie, who  was  believed  to  be  connected  { 
with  the  house  of  Tullibody.  After  him  came  ( 
the  Hon  John  Cleland,  a member  of  the  Leg-  f 
relative  Council,  who  was  followed  by  Dr  I 
John  Moultrie,  of  Culross,  Perthshire,  the  j 
ancestor  of  the  Moultrie  family  in  South  Car-  < 
olinn. 

The  Revolution  interrupted  the  regular  meet-  j 
ings  of  the  Society,  but  it  was  never  dissolved  ; 
At  the  end  of  the  war  the  archives  and  insig  l 
nia  were  gathered  together,  and  the  treasure  j 
reported  that  though  the  exchequer  wa  ' 
greatly  depleted  there  was  still  on  hand  a sum 
of  $327.  The  Society  having  been  reorganized, 
a proposal  was  made  that  it  should  start  a 
school,  and  so  favorably  was  it  received  that 
in  the  course  of  a short  time  a special  fund  of 
$15,000  was  raised,  with  which  a commodious 
school  room  was  erected.  This  was  long  before 
the  Legislature  of  the  State  provided  for  the 
public  instruction,  and  it  is  generally  acknowl- 
edged that  the  saint’s  dominies. were  the  means 
of  effecting  much  good. 

In  1798  the  Society  was  incorporated,  and  in 
1814  it  built  itself  a home,  naming  it  the  St 
Andrew’s  Hall.  In  1817,  on  the  occasion  of  a 
procession  being  formed  to  receive  Lafayette, 
a question  of  seniority  and  precedency  arose 
between  the  Society  and  another  old  colonial 
organization,  but  was  settled  in  an  amicable 
spirit  in  favor  of  the  former.  In  1829  the 
Society  celebrated  with  more  than  usual  cere- 
mony and  selemnity  its  centennial  aniversary,  I 
the  Hon  Mitchell  King  reading  an  able  and 
elaborate  address  on  the  history  of  the  body. 

That  address,  together  with  a eulogy  of 
Burns,  delivered  by  Mr  David  Ramsay  in  1859, 
an  oration  given  by  the  Rev  Dr  R.  Wilson  in 
1890,  and  other  interesting  matter,  all  of  which 
are  included  in  a volume  just  issued  by  the 
Society,  will  be  found  well  worthy  of  perusal 
by  all  interested  in  the  growth  of  Scotch  or- 
ganizations in  America. 

At  the  present  time  an  era  of  new  life  is  be- 
lieved to  be  dawning  on  the  Society,  and  though 
temporarily  deprived  of  its  home,  we  trust  it  ] 
will  soon  again  nave  a habitation  worthy  of  its

ANTHEM 

WRITTEN  FOR  THE  OCCASION,  BY  MITCHELL  KING. 


Bend  at  the  altar,  ye  sons  of  the  mountains! 

Your  thoughts  and  your  feelings  fervently  raise; 
Think  of  your  Scotland,  her  hills  and  her  fountains, 
Wake  the  loud  anthem  of  honor  and  praise. 

Honor  and  praise  the  Almighty  ! whose  glory 
Illumes  and  encircles  the  land  of  your  sires; 

Who  guards  from  pollution  the  stream  of  her  story, 
Her  sages,  and  poets,  and  statesmen  inspires. 

Father ! we  pray  Thee,  with  ardent  devotion, 
Scotland  may  ever  be  happy  and  free; 

Bless  and  protect  the  dear  land  in  the  ocean ; 

Make  the  whole  island  one  temple  to  Thee ! 

Still  may  her  children,  wherever  they  wander, 
Remember  with  deepest  affection  her  shore, 

And  raising  her  glory  still  higher  and  grander, 
Preserve  it  unsullied  till  time  be  no  more. 

Yes,  at  thy  altar,  with  heart,  soul  and  spirit, 

By  the  home  of  our  childhood  we  solemnly  vow, 
No  time,  chance,  or  absence,  shall  e’er  disinherit 
The  fervid  attachment  we  bear  to  her  now. 

Father ! we  pray  Thee,  with  ardent  devotion, 
Scotland  may  ever  be  happy  and  free ; 

Bless  and  protect  the  dear  land  in  the  ocean; 

Make  the  whole  island  one  temple  to  Thee !

ADDRESS. 


Friends  and  Countrymen  : 

To  select  stated  periods  in  the  course  of  time,  on  which 
to  dwell  with  more  than  ordinary  attention — to  stand  at 
them  as  on  an  eminence,  and  look  backward  on  the  past, 
and  forward  to  the  future,  is  often  a grateful,  and  always 
a profitable  employment.  It  has  been  sanctioned  by  the 
usage  of  the  wise  and  the  virtuous  of  all  ages.  It  fur- 
nishes an  opportunity  to  consider  and  record  the  lessons  of 
experience,  and  to  perpetuate  them  for  the  service  of 
posterity.  It  recalls  to  the  mind  with  refreshing  vivacity, 
scenes  and  incidents  which  have  long  passed,  and  which, 
but  for  this,  might  sink  in  oblivion.  It  awakens  an 
enlightened  and  liberal  inquiry  into  the  origin  of  estab- 
lished customs  and  institutions,  into  the  principles  on  which 
they  are  founded,  and  the  good  or  evil  which  they  have 
produced,  or  are  capable  of  producing.  It  affords  renewed 
occasions  of  cherishing  and  cultivating  the  social  affections 
under  the  happiest  auspices,  of  bringing  men  nearer  to 
their  fellow  men,  and  of  binding1  them  to  each  other  in  one 
ennobling  brotherhood  of  mutual  support,  generosity  and 
kindness.  The  Jubilee  of  the  Hebrews  on  every  fiftieth 
year  relieved  the  needy  and  the  oppressed  from  debt  and 
from  bondage,  and  restored  every  man  to  his  paternal  inheri- 
tance. The  Olympic  Games  of  the  Greeks  brought  together 
a nation,  at  other  times  a jealous  and  discordant  nation,  in 
generous  and  elevating  competition,  and  proclaimed  peace 
through  all  the  hallowed  land.  The  Saturnalia  of  the 


(12 


ADDRESS  BEFORE  THE 


Romans  was  the  holiday  of  the  afflicted,  and  placed,  for 
the  time,  the  servant  almost  on  a level  with  his  master; 
and  their  Secular  Games,  at  the  expiration  of  every 
hundred  years,  were  devoted  with  songs  of  praise  and 
thanksgiving  to  those  tutelary  deities  of  their  mighty 
empire,  who  saw  nothing  greater  than  it,  from  the  rising 
to  the  setting  sun.  In  this  happy  and  imperial  republic 
the  anniversary  of  a nation’s  birth  is  celebrated,  and  we 
firmly  trust  will  be  forever  celebrated,  by  the  deep 
gratitude,  the  unmingled  joy,  the  overflowing  hearts  and 
the  enlightened,  expansive  intelligence  of  a great,  increas- 
ing and  united  people.  And  wherever  round  the  habitable 
globe,  at  a distance  from  their  own  romantic  land,  two  or 
three  Scotchmen  are  met  together  on  the  day  of  the  patron 
Saint  of  their  country — and  in  what  clime  or  nation  do 
they  not  meet — that  day  is  set  apart  from  all  common  uses, 
and  devoted  to  the  best  and  noblest  recollections.  The 
scenes  of  their  childhood  and  of  their  youth — the  burn  in 
which  they  waded  from  morning  sun  till  dine — the  fields 
where  they  played  French  and  Enlish — their  village  school 
and  all  their  early  associates — the  church  in  which  they 
worshipped  their  God  with  the  purity  and  fervor  of  young, 
untainted  hearts — the  fireside  of  their  fathers,  how  humble 
soever  it  may  have  been — “a  thousand  thoughts  of  all 
things  dear”  rise  before  them,  filling  them  with  the 
deepest  emotions,  and  they  dwell  on  these  emotions  “with 
love,  that  scorns  the  lapse  of  time,  and  ties  that  stretch 
beyond  the  deep.” 

We  are  now  met  to  celebrate  this  day,  and  to  cherish 
these  feelings.  The  Saint  Andrew’s  Society  of  the  City  of 
Charleston  has  this  day  completed  its  hundredth  year.  It 
was  founded  on  the  thirtieth  of  November  in  the  year  of  our 
Lord  seventeen  hundred  and  twenty-nine.  And  on  this 
thirtieth  of  November  eighteen  hundred  and  twenty-nine, 
after  the  lapse  of  a century  of  extensive  and  increasing 


st.  Andrew’s  society,  1829.

usefulness,  we  cannot  refrain  from  indulging  in  mutual 
gratulations,  and  from  giving  a higher  energy  than  usual 
to  the  expression  of  our  enjoyment.  We  are  assured  of 
the  indulgence  and  sympathy  of  our  fellow  citizens.  They 
will  participate  in  our  satisfaction.  We  have  never  before 
made  so  large  a claim  on  them,  and  perhaps  another 
hundred  years  may  revolve  before  our  successors  again 
offer  themselves  so  prominently  to  the  notice  of  the  public. 
To  gratify  the  feelings  which  this  day  awakens,  and  in  the 
fullness  of  our  own  hearts,  to  communicate  them  to  our 
fellow  citizens  now  present,  we  wish  to  trace  the  name 
and  origin  of  our  Society,  to  look  back  to  its  founders,  to 
commemorate  the  good  which  they  have  done,  and  to 
animate  ourselves  by  their  example.  We  wish  to  congra- 
tulate the  sons  of  St.  Andrew  on  the  high  standing  of  their 
native  country  in  arts  and  arms,  in  literature  and  science, 
in  wisdom  and  virtue,  and  to  call  on  them  to  show 
themselves  worthy  of  being  her  children.  We  wish  to 
look  forward  to  our  successors,  and  to  conjure  them  to 
maintain  to  the  latest  ages,  and  in  unsullied  purity,  the 
principles  of  this  institution. 

It  might  gratify  a liberal  curiosity,  could  we  by  any 
research  ascertain,  why  and  when  Scotland  dedicated 
herself  to  St.  Andrew,  and  assumed  his  cross  in  her 
standard.  But  the  earliest  authentic  histories  throw  little 
or  no  light  on  the  inquiry.  Buchanan,  it  is  true,  informs 
us  that  about  the  beginning  of  the  ninth  century  Achaius, 
or  Eochol,  the  King  of  the  Scots,  who  had  married 
Fergusiana,  the  sister  of  Hungus,  King  of  the  Piets,  sent 
his  son  Alpine  with  ten  thousand  men  to  assist  his  uncle 
against  the  English.  The  united  forces  of  the  Scots  and  > 
Piets  made  an  inroad  into  England  and  plundered  North- 
umberland. Athelstane,  a fierce  warrior,  with  the  English 
forces,  pursued  the  invaders  in  their  retreat,  and  came  up 
with  them  near  Haddington,  Hungus,  inferior  in  physical

force,  besought  the  assistance  of  Heaven,  and  on  the 
second  night  after  he  had  been  overtaken  by  the  enemy, 
St.  Andrew  appeared  to  him  in  a dream,  and  promised 
him  the  victory.  He  related  this  vision  to  his  men,  and 
they  now  full  of  hope  prepared  themselves  for  the  conflict. 
When  they  joined  battle,  it  is  said,  that  another  miracle, 
the  cross  of  the  apostle  appeared  in  the  sky  above  them, 
and  so  animated  them,  and  discouraged  the  English,  that 
they  were  scarcely  able  to  sustain  the  first  attack.  Athel- 
stane  fell  and  gave  his  name  to  the  place.  It  is  yet  called 
Athelstane’s  ford.  Hungus  attributed  the  victory  to  the 
aid  of  the  Saint,  and  besides  other  gifts,  dedicated  to  him 
the  tenth  part  of  the  royal  domains. 

It  has  been  supposed  that  the  Order  of  the  Knights  of 
Saint  Andrew,  or  of  the  Thistle,  instituted  by  the  Scots 
about  this  very  time,  was  intended  to  commemorate  these 
miracles  and  this  victory.  Certain  it  is,  that  the  Order 
claims  a very  high  antiquity,  and  the  claim  has  been 
allowed  both  at  home  and  abroad.  But  this  story  is 
manifestly  borrowed  from  the  legend  of  Constantine’s 
dream,  and  the  luminous  cross  that  appeared  above  the 
meridian  sun  to  him  and  his  army,  nearly  five  hundred 
years  before  these  pretended  miracles  were  vouchsafed  to 
Hungus.  They  have  even  less  plausibility  than  the 
miracle  of  Constantine,  for  they  are  not  recorded  by  a 
single  contemporary.  And  the  events  with  which  they 
are  connected  by  their  inventors  are  irreconcilable  with 
authentic  history.  The  very  invention,  however,  shows 
the  veneration  paid  to  the  apostle,  and  beyond  all  doubt  in 
the  early  ages  of  the  church  he  was  long  regarded  as  the 
tutelary  saint — almost  as  the  tutelary  deity  of  the  country. 
Even  now,  when  the  lights  of  literature — of  philosophy — 
of  the  reformation — have  chased  away  the  mists  of  super- 
stition, and  worship  is  only  paid  where  it  is  sacredly  due,

consecrated  banner  of  their  fathers,  are  still  held  in  deep 
reverence  by  every  Scotchman ; and  whenever  at  a distance 
from  Scotland,  they  unite  for  any  social  or  benevolent 
purpose,  and  especially  to  cherish  the  recollection  of  their 
beloved  native  land,  that  name  and  symbol,  and  the  Thistle 
of  his  Order,  and  its  daring  motto,  generally  distinguish 
their  voluntary  associations. 

On  Saint  Andrew’s  Day,  the  30th  of  November,  1729,  a 
number  of  gentlemen,  chiefly  natives  of  Scotland,  met  in 
Charleston,  and,  with  the  design,  as  they  have  themselves 
told  us,  “of  promoting  some  public  good  by  their  joint 
endeavors ,”  unanimously  resolved  to  form  a Society,  to 
be  called  “ The  Saint  Andrew’s  Club,  at  Charleston,  in 
South  Caroliina.”  They  took  measures  to  provide  rules 
for  the  Society ; and  so  earnest  were  they  in  the  under- 
taking, that  by  the  next  Saint  Andrew’s  Day,  the  30th  of 
November,  1730,  a complete  code  was  adopted  and  signed 
by  thirty-four  members.  The  Society  flourished  under 
these  rules.  TThey  were  printed  in  1788,  and  remained 
unchanged  a period  of  sixty-six  years,  until  they  were 
revised  and  altered  in  1796.  The  original  roll,  with  the 
signatures  of  the  members  to  that  time,  is  now  among  the 
archives  of  the  Society. 

They  who  have  been  most  active  in  forming  a new 
association,  generally  receive  its  honors,  and  we  therefore 
presume,  for  we  have  no  positive  knowledge  on  the 
subject,  that  the  first  officers — the  Honorable  Alexander 
Skene,  President;  John  Fraser,  Vice-President;  James 
Crokatt,  Treasurer ; James  Grseme,  Assistant;  and  Walter 
Burn,  Clerk — were  amongst  the  most  zealous  promoters  of 
our  Society.  Unless  we  have  actually  ascertained'  by 
experience,  it  would  be  difficult  to  conceive  how  speedily 
the  knowledge  is  lost,  of  the  attainments,  the  talents,  the 
rank,  the  influence,  the  character,  the  history,  in  fine,  of 
individuals  in  private  life.  What  was  a few  yoars  ago

familiar  to  many,  now  no  more,  dies  with  them  and  falls  * 
into  utter  oblivion.  Scarcely  three  generations  have  passed 
away  since  the  origin  of  this  Society.  Twenty-one  years 
have  elapsed  this  day  since  the  speaker  first  belonged  to 
it,  and  on  that  very  day  the  venerable  Dr.  Robert  Wilson, 
Sr.,  who  had  then  been  fifty  years  a member,  joined  in 
our  annual  festivities.  He  no  doubt  knew  personally  the 
majority  of  our  founders.  But  what  he  may  have  well 
known  respecting  them,  is  now,  it  is  believed,  beyond  the 
reach  of  the  most  patient  inquiry.  No  small  pains  have 
been  taken  to  gather  information  of  our  original  officers; 
but  all,  to  be  iu  any  degree  relied  on,  that  could  be 
obtained,  falls  far  short  of  the  wishes  of  the  inquirer. 

Alexander  Skene,  a native  of  Scotland,  our  first  Presi- 
dent,  was  in  1717  one  of  the  Council  appointed  by  the 
Lords  Proprietors  of  the  Province.  The  laws  were  then 
passed  by  the  Governor,  the  Council  and  the  House  of 
Assembly,  or  as  it  was  usually  called  the  Commons  House. 
The  Governor  was  appointed  by  a majority  of  the  Lords 
Proprietors.  If  a vacancy  occurred,  it  was  filled  for  the 
time  by  the  Council,  and  their  nomination  was  either 
confirmed,  or  a new  Governor  appointed.  Each  Lord 
Proprietor  generally  nominated  a deputy  who  sat  for  him 
in  Council.  Sometimes  a greater  number  of  Counsellors 
was  appointed.  The  laws  were  generally  authenticated 
by  the  signatures  of  the  Governor  and  the  members  of 
Council  who  were  present  at  their  ratification.  In  all  the 
laws  passed  from  1717  to  1719,  under  the  proprietary 
government,  while  Mr.  Skene  was  in  Council,  his  signature 
is  next  to  that  of  the  Governor,  and  before  that  of  Nicholas 
Trott,  then  Chief  Justice,  or  any  other  of  the  Council,  so 
that  it  should  seem  he  was  a leading  member.  Great 
differences  at  this  time  existed  between  the  inhabitants 
and  the  Lords  Proprietors.  The  latter  had  repealed  several 
laws  considered  quite  important  to  the  country.  The

inhabitants  were  left  in  a great  measure  unprotected,  and 
unaided  in  their  contests  with  the  Indians,  often  excited 
to  the  most  furious  animosity  against  them  by  the  Span- 
iards of  the  neighboring  province  of  Florida.  They  had 
been  compelled  to  fit  out  vessels  at  their  own  expense  to 
destroy  the  pirates  by  whom  they  had  been  infested — they 
were  incensed  by  the  existence  of  prerogatives  which  were 
not  exercised  for  their  benefit,  and  harrassed  for  the 
payment  of  quit  rents  for  lands  which  they  were  not 
allowed  to  cultivate  in  peace.  They  became  exceedingly 
anxious  for  the  abolition  of  the  proprietary  government. 
It  was  obviously  incompetent  either  to  protect  the  country 
or  to  promote  its  true  interests.  Mr.  Skene  was  decidedly 
attached  to  the  popular  party ; and  when  the  people  at  last 
refused  all  submission  to  the  proprietary  government,  and 
placed  themselves  under  the  protection  of  the  crown,  ho 
strenuously  advised  the  Governor,  Eobert  Johnson,  to 
acquiesce  in  their  wishes.  From  his  attachment  to  the 
cause  of  the  people,  and  probably  from  the  intrigues  of 
Judge  Trott  with  the  Lords  Proprietors,  he  was  excluded 
for  a time  from  the  Legislative  Council.  But  we  find  from 
the  records  of  the  Court  of  Equity,  that  in  February,  1721, 
he  was  one  of  the  Council  for  executing  the  office  of 
Chancellor,  and  he  continued  to  hold  that  office  until  his 
death.  On  his  exclusion  from  the  Legislative  Council,  at 
the  next  election  of  the  Assembly  he  was  chosen  a mem- 
ber, and  exerted  himself  there  with  great  zeal  to  effect  the 
desired  change  of  government.  The  measure  ivas  at  last 
eminently  successful.  The  Proprietors  were,  after  much 
contention  and  negotiation,  compelled  to  resign  their 
regality;  and  in  1731  Mr.  Skene’s  conduct  was  so  entirely 
approved,  that  he  was  again  made  one  of  the  Legislative 
Council  to  his  old  friend  Eobert  Johnson,  then  appointed 
Governor  for  the  crown.  In  April,  1734,  a law  was  passed 
establishing  a free  school  at  Dorchester,  and  Mr.  Skeno

was  by  the  act  itself  placed  at  the  head  of  the  Board  of 
Trustees,  consisting  of  the  first  gentlemen  of  the  country, 
and  made  President  of  the  Board  until  his  death,  resigna- 
tion, or  removal  from  Carolina.  He  diod  in  1740,  and 
until  that  time  was  President  of  this  Society.  Every 
incident  of  his  life  that  has  come  to  our  knowledge  shows 
that  he  was  an  active,  intelligent  man,  of  decided  character, 
of  high  and  liberal  spirit,  and  that  he  stood  in  the  foremost 
rank  of  our  community. 

John  Praser,  the  first  Yice-President  of  our  Society,  was 
a native  of  Wigton,  Scotland,  descended  of  a Highland 
family,  and  possessing  no  other  inheritance  than  that  of  a 
younger  son,  a good  constitution  and  industrious  habits, 
an  excellent  education,  unsullied  reputation,  and  a firm 
enterprising  mind.  Seeing  little  opportunity  of  bettering 
his  condition  at  home,  he  proposed  to  push  his  fortune 
abroad.  With  that  spirit  of  deep  piety,  which  then  usually 
distinguished  the  natives  of  Scotland,  and  with  some  share 
of  that  superstition,  for  which  they  were  scarcely  less 
remarkable,  he,  according  to  the  tradition  preserved  by  his 
highly  respectable  descendants,  not  only  looked  to  Heaven 
to  protect  him,  but  he  fondly  trusted  that  it  would  vouchsafe 
to  him  some  special  communication  by  which  he  might  direct 
his  conduct.  In  imitation  of  a practice  probably  borrowed 
from  the  Sortes  Homeriance,  and  the  Sortes  Yirgilianse, 
long  prevalent  in  the  dark  ages  of  the  Church,  and  even 
now,  in  these  days  of  more  enlightened  reason  and  purified 
Christianity,  not  perhaps  wholly  disused,  he  opened  the 
Bible,  the  constant  companion  of  a Scotchman,  and  the 
8th  verse  of  the  31st  chapter  of  Deuteronomy,  “It  is  the 
Lord ; He  it  is  that  doth  go  before  thee,  He  will  be  with 
thee,  He  will  not  fail  thee,  neither  forsake  thee,  fear  not, 
neither  be  dismayed,”  first  presented  itself  to  him,  con- 
firmed his  purpose,  and  animated  his  hopes.  He  came  to 
America,  and  in  1714  we  find  him  in  Carolina,  respectably

married,  and  settled  as  a favorite  trader  among  the 
Yamassee  Indians  The  narrative  of  his  escape  with  his 
family  from  the  cruel  war,  which  in  1715  broke  out  with 
these  Indians,  is  well  told  by  our  countryman  Hewat,  a 
member  of  this  Society,  the  best  writer  on  the  early  history 
of  this  State.  After  this  war  Mr.  Fraser  resided  in 
Charleston.  In  his  business  as  a merchant  he  realized  a 
handsome  fortune.  His  connexions  by  marriage,  and  his 
own  intelligence  and  honorable  character,  gave  him  a high 
standing  in  society.  He  was  one  of  the  most  influential 
members  of  the  Scotch  Church  in  this  city.  Before  the 
war  of  the  revolution,  the  lands  of  the  church  were  held 
by  him  as  one  of  the  trustees  for  the  congregation.  His 
house,  which  stood  on  the  ground  now  a part  of  the 
cemetery  of  the  church,  was  a general  resort  for  his 
countrymen.  He  lived  to  a good  old  age,  like  a patriarch 
among  them,  and  died  universally  esteemed  and  regretted. 

Of  the  other  original  officers  very  little  has  been  ascer- 
tained. Mr.  Crokatt,  the  Treasurer,  was  a merchant  of 
wealth  and  respectability.  His  family  were  long  resident 
in  Carolina,  and  his  last  known  descendant  went  to 
England  some  time  before  the  revolutionary  war.  Mr. 
Burn,  the  Clerk,  was  also  an  eminent  merchant.  One  of 
his  descendants,  James  Burn,  a member  of  this  Society, 
was  a Colonel  in  the  army  during  the  last  war.  Mr. 
Graeme,  the  Assistant,  was  a lawyer  of  high  standing,  and 
was  in  1749  made  Chief  Justice  of  this  State.  He  is 
believed  to  have  given  his  name  to  the  large  tract  of  land 
which  is  still  called  Graeme’s  Neck.  Such  were  the 
original  officers,  and  their  successors  have  well  maintained 
their  respectability. 

On  the  death  of  Mr.  Skene  in  1740,  the  Honorable 
James  Abercrombie  was  elected  President.  This  gentle- 
man is  believed  to  have  been  of  the  same  family  with  the 
distinguished  Sir  Ealpli  Abercrombie,  In  1745  ho  was

succeeded  in  the  Presidency  by  the  Honorable  John 
Cleland,  a member  of  the  Legislative  Council  of  the  State, 
who  held  the  office  until  his  death  in  1760.  Dr.  John 
Moultrie,  a native  of  Culross,  in  Fifeshire,  Scotland,  one 
of  the  original  founders  of  the  Society,  and  the  ancestor 
in  this  State  of  the  family  of  that  name,  was  then  elected 
in  his  place.  Dr.  Moultrie  continued  President  until  his 
death  in  1771.  He  was  distinguished  in  his  profession. 
His  mind  was  highly  cultivated,  his  views  enlarged,  and 
his  principles  liberal.  He  was  in  the  first  rank  of  society, 
lived  to  an  advanced  age,  and  left,  in  his  sons,  a legacy  of 
inestimable  value  to  his  adopted  country.  On  the  death 
of  Dr.  Moultire  in  1771,  the  Honorable  John  Stuart  was 
elected  President,  and  retained  the  office  until  the  war  of 
the  revolution  suspended  for  a time  the  regular  meetings 
of  the  Society.  Mr.  Stuart  was  the  Superintendent  of 
Indian  Affairs.  He  had  been  an  officer  in  the  army,  and 
had  distinguished  himself  greatly  by  his  conduct  at  Fort 
Loudon,  in  the  war  with  the  Cherokees  in  1760.  He  was 
a man  of  high  attainments  and  talents,  well  acquainted 
with  the  character  of  the  Indian  tribes,  and  admirably 
calculated  by  his  sagacity,  address  and  boldness  to 
conciliate  and  control  them.  The  speech  which  he 
delivered  to  a general  meeting  of  a number  of  the  Indian 
tribes,  at  Mobile  in  1765,  preserved  by  Hewat  in  his 
History  of  South  Carolina,  is  probably  the  best  extant 
ever  addressed  to  that  people,  and  shows  how  competent 
he  was  for  the  office  he  occupied.  His  son,  Sir  John  Stuart, 
a native  of  this  city,  inherited  the  talents  of  his  father,  and 
at  the  battle  of  Maida  in  1806,  showed  what  the  inexperi- 
enced and  comparitively  raw  troops  of  his  father’s  country 
can  achieve  over  veteran  soldiers  and  disciplined  valor. 

Though  the  regular  meetings  of  the  Society  were 
unavoidably  interrupted  by  the  war  of  the  revolution,  the 
Society  itself  was  by  no  means  discontinued.  Tho  mem- 


st.  Andrew’s  society,  1829,

bers  adhered  to  it.  The  insignia  and  archives  were 
preserved,  though  in  the  confusion  occasioned  by  the  war 
they  were  for  some  time  mislaid.  Occasional  meetings 
took  place,  and  a number  of  new  members  were  admitted. 
The  funds  and  charities  were  not  neglected.  And  soon 
after  the  war,  General  William  Moultrie,  who  had  been  a 
member  of  the  Society  from  1758,  the  son  of  Dr.  John 
Moultrie,  was  elected  President.  Of  this  gentleman  it  is 
unnecessary  to  speak.  He  has  written  his  name  on  the 
brightest  page  of  the  history  of  his  country.  It  will  pass 
down  with  increasing  lustre  to  the  latest  posterity;  and 
while  men  love  freedom,  and  talk  of  Thermopylm,  and 
Marathon,  and  Bannockburn,  the  battle  of  Fort  Moultrie 
will  never  be  forgotten. 

At  the  anniversary  in  1790,  the  impaired  health  of 
General  Moultrie  induced  him  to  decline  a re-election. 
Dr.  Alexander  Baron  was  then  made  President,  and  by 
unanimous  annual  re-elections  held  the  office  for  upwards 
of  twenty-eight  years,  until  his  death  in  1819.  There  is 
not,  I will  venture  to  say,  a member  of  this  Society  who 
remembers  his  Presidency,  whose  heart  does  not  warm  at 
the  name  of  this  excellant  man.  He  was  the  delight  of 
this  Society,  and  of  the  much  larger  society  in  which  we 
live.  His  great  medical  learning,  his  long  and  extensive 
experience,  his  profound  sagacity,  placed  him,  by  the 
admission  of  all  his  contemporaries  in  our  city,  at  the  very 
head  of  his  profession.  In  a sick  chamber  no  man  was 
over  more  acceptable — all  had  the  highest  confidence  in 
his  abilities.  He  overflowed  with  the  milk  of  human 
kindness,  and  his  gentleness  and  sympathy  soothed  the 
pang  which  his  skill  could  not  relieve.  Utterly  devoid  of 
all  pretension,  and  though  full  of  knowledge,  speaking  of 
the  most  difficult  parts  of  his  science  with  the  greatest  sim- 
plicity and  delicacy,  and  combining  the  highest  integrity 
and  purest  honor  with  unaffected  good  manners,  he  was

indeed  tho  model  of  an  accomplished  physician  and  a 
polite  gentleman.  He  was  devoted  to  this  Society,  and  no 
one  who  has  seen  him  preside  at  our  festivals  can  forget 
the  cheerful  dignity,  the  unfailing  urbanity  with  which 
he  filled  the  chair,  and  the  deep  feeling,  communicating 
itself  to  all  around  him,  with  which  he  announced  our 
annual  toasts.  When  even  in  advanced  age  he  led  the 
way  in  the  “home  born  verse”  of  his  native  country,  by 
his  favorite  song,  “The  Lass  of  Patie’s  Mill,”  there  was 
something  so  delightful  in  his  manner,  so  exhilarating, 
and  yet  so  remote  from  levity,  in  his  mirth,  that  gravity 
itself  seemed  pleased,  the  young  gave  freer  scope  to  their 
merriment,  and  the  old  almost  thought  that  they  were 
again  young.  Long  will  his  memory  be  cherished  among 
us ; never  will  his  name  be  mentioned  without  veneration 
and  regard. 

On  the  death  of  Dr.  Baron,  our  present  President,  Mr. 
Adam  Tunno,  was  elected.  The  place  of  honor,  like  the 
golden  apple  of  antiquity,  datur  digniori.  Here,  however, 
there  was  no  contention.  A unanimous  vote  put  him  in  the 
chair.  But  I mean  not  to  speak  of  our  living  members.  Let 
those  who  come  after  us,  speak  of  us  as  we  may  deserve.* 


* It  was  intended  to  have  particularized  some  of  the  prominent 
individuals  of  the  Society,  who,  since  the  time  of  the  founders, 
have  held  subordinate  offices  in  it,  and  some  progress  was  made 
towards  collecting  materials  to  complete  this  intention.  But  to 
have  done  it  even  in  the  manner  in  which  these  materials  might 
have  enabled  it  to  be  done,  would  have  required  more  time  than 
could  have  been  given  to  it.  Many,  also,  who  no  doubt  have 
merited  of  the  Society  to  be  commemorated,  would  have  been 
unavoidably  omitted,  and  it  might  have  appeared  invidious  to  have 
mentioned  some  and  neglected  others.  The  intention,  therefere, 
was  abandoned,  though  with  some  reluctance,  and  it  is  cause  of 
regret  that,  the  information,  scanty  as  it  is,  which  has  been  collected 
of  Several  members  who  have  deserved  well  of  the  Society,  will,  in 
all  probability,  soon  be  entirely  forgotten.

The  Society  was  scarcely  established  in  1729,  when  it 
rose  to  much  usefulness  and  respectability.  At  the  anni- 
versary in  1732,  upwards  of  forty-six  members  dined 
together.  As  is  shown  from  the  public  journals  of  the 
day,  they  consisted  of  many  of  the  most  respectable  indi- 
viduals of  the  community.  The  Royal  Governor,  Robert 
Johnson,  and  the  Chief  Justice,  Robert  Wright,  were 
members,  and  joined  in  the  festivities.  And  from  that 
time,  until  the  revolution,  the  number  of  members  con- 
tinued to  increase,  and  the  Governor  and  chief  public 
officers,  whether  members  or  not,  dined  on  the  anniversary 
with  the  Society. 

In  November,  1732,  seven  hundred  pounds  currency  had 
been  contributed  in  subscriptions,  and  upwards  of  four 
hundred  and  sixty  pounds  distributed  in  charity.  The 
principal  part  of  these  funds  was  raised  by  the  quarterly 
subscriptions  of  the  members.  It  was  then,  on  Saint 
Andrew’s  Day,  in  the  ffow  of  good  humor  and  hilarity, 
usual  for  the  Chair  to  appoint  a committee  to  inquire 
jocosely  into  the  condition  and  conduct  of  the  members, 
and  to  report  such  of  them  as  the  committee  thought  ought 
to  be  fined.  These  reports,  avoiding  everything  unpleasant, 
afforded  occasion  for  much  innocent  mirth  and  good  natured 
jocularity.  The  bachelors  were  blamed  for  remaining 
unmarried  and  living  in  single  blessedness,  or  rather  in 
cheerless  singleness,  and  they  therefore  were  fined  to  pay 
for  their  perversity.  The  married  were  fined  because 
they  had  wives,  and  ought  to  pay  for  that  happiness. 
Those  who  had  children  were  fined  because  they  had  the 
wealth  of  a family,  and  those  who  had  none  were  fined 
because  they  could  afford  it,  as  they  had  not  the  expense 
of  maintaining  children.  And  it  was  generally  recom- 
mended by  the  committee  that  the  Chair  should  give 
officially  such  admonitions  to  the  respective  parties  as  best 
suited  them.  This  usage  has  been  discontinued  for  the

last  forty  years,  but  it  certainly  at  the  time  increased  the 
income  of  the  Society,  and  added  to  the  merriment  of  the 
day. 

The  meetings  were  held  with  great  regularity.  They 
were  uniformly  announced  in  the  gazettes,  and  occasional 
notices  were  published  of  the  celebrations  of  the  anniver- 
sary, of  the  splendor  of  the  entertainments,  and  the 
respectability  and  number  of  the  company.  The  jncrease 
of  their  income,  arising  from  the  increase  in  the  number 
of  their  members,  enabled  them  greatly  to  extend  their 
usefulness.  The  poor  and  the  distressed,  the  widow  and 
and  the  orphan  of  every  nation  and  kindred,  were  the 
objects  of  their  bounty.  So  prominent  were  they  for  their 
benificence,  that  Dr.  MilligaD,  in  his  account  of  Carolina, 
(in  1763)  observes:  “I  must  not  forget  to  mention  the 
Saint  Andrew’s  Club,  which  is  chiefly  composed  of  Scotch- 
men, but  whose  charitable  donations  are  confined  to 
no  country.”  In  examining  the  earlier  records  of  the 
Society,  it  is  interesting,  and  sometimes  curious,  to  read 
the  petitions  and  see  the  various  applications  made  to 
them.  If  a poor  man  had  been  oppressed  by  a rich 
neighbor,  if  he  had  lost  his  little  crop,  or  stood  in  need  of 
necessaries  for  his  family,  he  applied  to  the  Saint  Andrew’s 
Society.  If  an  indigent  mechanic  was  disabled  or  could 
not  find  employment,  he  was  relieved  by  this  Society.  If 
the  widow  of  a stranger  was  distressed,  or  wished  to  return 
Avitli  her  children  to  her  native  country,  she  was  assisted 
by  this  Society.  If  the  infirmities  of  age  had  rendered  a 
man  unable  to  work,  and  he  Avas  reduced  to  want,  his 
wants  were  supplied  by  this  Society.  One  tells  them  his 
neighbors  have  tresspassed  on  his  lands,  and  that  he  has 
been  harrassed  and  ruined  by  law  suits.  Another  says 
that  after  he  had  made  a good  crop,  a part  of  it  Avas 
destroyed  by  the  bears,  and  the  rest  stolen  by  negroes. 
In  1747,  the  sister  of  a Scotch  Baronet,  on  her  third

application  to  them  for  further  relief,  informs  them  that 
she  believes  the  recent  troubles  in  Scotland  (the  rebellion 
of  1745)  had  prevented  her  brother  from  sending  her 
assistance.  If  a storm  or  hurricane  devastated  the  country, 
if  sickness  reduced  the  poor  to  indigence,  the  sufferers 
resorted  to  this  Society.  Few,  very  few  applications  ever 
seem  to  have  been  made  to  them  in  vain.  The  needy 
were  not  sent  empty  away.  The  funds  were  not  then 
allowed  to  accumulate  to  any  considerable  amount.  They 
were  distributed  in  acts  of  charity  nearly  as  soon  as  they 
were  collected.  The  Society  did  not  hoard  up  their  revenue 
with  a view  either  to  future  wealth  or  to  more  extensive 
usefulness ; they  laid  it  out  in  doing  immediate  good,  in 
relieving  the  afflicted,  in  purchasing  the  prayer  of  the  poor 
and  the  blessing  of  Heaven. 

When  the  Society  was  reorganized  after  the  revolution- 
ary war,  the  whole  fund  amounted  to  8117.  2s.  Id.  sterling. 
From  that  time  till  1796,  their  funds  gradually  increased, 
and  the  same  mode  of  distributing  their  charities  continued. 
But  in  that  year  the  original  rules,  which,  as  was  before 
said,  had  continued  unchanged  since  their  first  adoption  in 
1730,  were  revised  and  altered.  And  in  consequence  of 
the  great  increase  in  the  number  of  the  members,  and  the 
establishment  among  us  of  several  similar  institutions,  it 
was  deemed  expedient  in  future  to  confine  the  pecuniary 
charities  of  the  Society  to  reduced  members  or  their 
families.  But  it  was  at  the  same  time  resolved,  that  the 
Society  should  establish  a school,  and  clothe  and  educate 
a certain  number  of  poor  children  to  be  taken  from  our 
community  generally,  giving  only  the  preference  to  children 
of  indigent  and  deceased  members.  In  their  new  rules, 
the  admission  to  membership  was  placed  on  the  same 
liberal  footing  that  distinguished  the  former  rules,  and 
this  rule  has  never  been  changed.  It  will  be  remarked 
that  this  resolution  to  establish  a school  was  made  loug

before  the  Legislature  of  the  State  provided  for  the  public 
instruction.  And  it  well  became  Scotchmen,  who  had 
witnessed  the  happy  effects  of  a general  system  of  educa- 
tion in  their  native  country,  to  give  every  encouragement 
here  to  that  best  and  noblest  of  all  charities,  the  only 
charity,  indeed,  of  which  the  results,  it  is  believed,  are 
invariably  beneficial.  As  much  time  must  have  elapsed 
before  this  school  could  have  gone  into  operation,  had  it 
been  allowed  to  depend  only  on  the  usual  revenue  of  the 
Society,  a voluntary  contribution  among  the  members  was 
proposed,  A committee  appointed  to  solicit  funds  to  carry 
the  measure  into  effect,  almost  immediately  procured  sub- 
scriptions to  upwards  of  $5,000.  In  a very  few  years,  through 
the  liberality  of  the  members  and  the  good  management 
of  the  committee,  the  fund  came  to  more  than  $15,000,  and 
the  school  was  then  opened.  The  school  fund  continued 
gradually  to  increase,  until  the  act  of  the  Legislature 
establishing  free  schools  rendered  that  of  the  Society  no 
longer  necessary.  It  was  soon  after  discontinued,  and  the 
funds  which  had  been  provided  for  it,  and  which  had  been 
exclusively  contributed  by  the  members,  were,  with  their 
unanimous  consent,  devoted  to  the  other  charitable  objects 
of  the  institution.  But  though  the  school  was  discontinued, 
because  its  place  was  well  supplied  by  the  country,  the 
good  which  it  had  done  will  be  long  remembered.  Many 
persons  who  were  there  educated  are  now  useful  and 
respectable  members  of  our  community.  But  for  this  school 
they  might  have  grown  up  in  ignorance.  The  instruction 
which  they  there  received  will  be  communicated  to  their 
children,  and  limited  as  it  was,  the  effects  of  it  may  be  felt 
by  our  remote  posterity. 

Soon  after  the  revival  of  the  Society,  at  the  close  of  the 
revolutionary  war,  their  papers,  insignia  and  archives, 
which  had  been  for  some  time  mislaid,  were  found  by  a 
gontleman  still  present  among  us,  and  were  immediately

delivered  to  them.  They  were  quite  interesting  and 
important  to  the  Society.  They  consisted  chiefly  of  peti- 
tions, reports  of  committees,  and  statements  of  distributions 
of  charity,  the  ancient  snuff  mull,  with  its  appendages,  the 
Seal,  and  above  all,  the  original  Rules  engrossed  and 
first  signed  on  the  30th  November,  1730,  and  from  that 
time  to  the  commencement  of  the  war  subscribed  by  every 
successively  admitted  member. 

In  1798,  after  the  revision  of  the  rules,  an  application 
was  made  to  the  Legislature  to  incorporate  the  Society. 
This  application  was  granted,  and  an  act  was  passed  incor- 
porating it  for  a limited  time.  When  this  period  was 
about  to  expire,  a further  application  was  made,  and  the 
time  was  extended;  and  in  1817  a law  was  finally  passed, 
repealing  the  clauses  in  the  former  acts  that  limited  the 
time  of  their  duration,  and,  by  a necessary  consequence, 
giving  the  Society  a perpetual  right  of  incorporation. 
These  acts  enabled  them  to  hold  in  their  corporate  name, 
real  or  personal  property  to  the  value  of  eighty  thousand 
dollars,  and  no  doubt  tended  to  secure  the  utility  and 
permanency  of  the  Society. 

In  April,  1814,  the  Society  resolved  to  have  a building 
in  which  to  hold  their  meetings,  and  the  Saint  Andrew’s 
Hall  in  this  city  was  erected. 

In  182G,  a question  of  seniority  and  precedency  arose 
between  this,  and,  it  is  believed,  the  next  oldest  Society  in 
South  Carolina,  In  a spirit  of  perfect  good  will,  committees 
were  mutually  appointed  to  investigate  the  subject.  On 
the  fullest  examination  before  both  the  committees,  the 
rights  of  seniority  were  unanimously  determined  in  favor 
of  this  Society,  and  a joint  report,  finally  settling  the  ques- 
tion, signed  by  the  respective  committees,  was  submitted 
to  each  Society.  These  seem  to  be  the  principal  events 
in  relation  to  this  Society,  which,  since  the  revision  and 
change  of  the  rules  in  1790,  deserve  to  bo  commomorated.

ADDRESS  BEFORE  THE 


The  Society  has  in  all  othei’  respects  held  on  tho  even 
tenor  of  its  way,  and  accomplished  the  ends  for  which  it 
was  instituted.  It  has  increased  the  number  of  its  mem- 
bers, and  the  amount  of  its  fund.  It  has  extended  its 
usefulness.  It  has  been  a bond  of  union,  binding  man  to 
man,  and  Scotchman  to  Scotchman,  in  a holy  brotherhood 
of  kindred  affection'  mutual  benevolence,  endearing  recol- 
lections, and  diffusive  charity.  It  has  relieved  the  wants 
of  the  poor  and  the  afflicted.  It  has  protected  the  orphan, 
and  filled  the  widow’s  heart  with  joy. 

And  well  might  such  results  have  been  anticipated,  by 
that  sage  experience  which  attains  to  something  like  pro- 
phetic strain,  when  we  consider  the  high  and  liberal 
principles  of  brotherly  love  and  charity  on  which  the 
Society  is  founded.  Could  we  recall  the  state  of  public 
sentiment  as  it  existed  one  hundred  years  ago,  among  the 
most  enlightened  nations  of  the  earth,  and  compare,  or 
rather  contrast  it,  with  the  public  sentiment  of  the  present 
day,  we  should  probably  be  astonished  at  the  mighty 
change  which  the  lapse  of  one  century  has  produced. 
Each  country  then  thought  it  best  promoted  its  own 
interest  by  throwing  every  obstacle  and  embarrassment  in 
the  way  of  the  prosperity  of  its  neighbor.  Statesmen  and 
legislators  carried  on  a war  of  exclusion  and  restriction 
against  all  around  them,  and  would  have  thought  them- 
selves essentially  injured  had  they  permitted  others  to 
participate  in  any  of  their  advantages.  The  people  of  one 
country  scarcely  associated  freely  and  voluntarily,  on  terms 
of  equality,  with  those  of  another.  National  prejudices, 
party  distinctions  and  mutual  jealousies,  generally  kept 
them  separate,  and  prevented  them  from  cordially  uniting 
for  any  useful  purpose.  Even  a proposition  for  such  a 
union  was  likely  to  be  viewed  with  much  distrust.  All 
this  is  changed,  and  though  we  even  now  sometimes  see  a 
nation  misled  by  a mistaken  policy,  and  the  selfish  motives

of  individuals,  to  adopt  measures  injurious  to  its  true 
interest,  the  delusion  cannot  long  continue.  Experience 
will  finally  convince  even  the  most  obstinate.  The  voice 
of  enlightened  reason  will  and  must  be  heard.  The  voice 
of  public  opinion,  not  the  public  opinion  of  one  nation  or 
country,  which  may  be  warped  by  prejudice,  darkened  by 
ignorance,  or  bribed  by  self  interest,  but  that  public 
opinion  which  is  founded  on  the  judgments  of  impartial 
and  intelligent  men  throughout  the  civilized  world,  will 
make  itself  heard,  and  unhappy  will  that  people  be  who 
do  not  listen  to  its  dictates. 

Though  this  be  the  state  of  the  public  mind  in  1829,  it 
reflects  the  highest  honor  on  the  memory  of  the  founders 
of  our  Society  in  1729,  that  enlightened  beyond  the  age  in 
which  they  lived,  they  laid  its  foundation  on  principles  of 
liberality  which  have  since  received  universal  approbation. 
Their  objects,  in  their  own  language,  were  “to  cultivate 
and  maintain  a good  understanding  and  acquaintance  with 
one  another”  “to  do  generous  and  charitable  actions ,”  and 
“willing  to  contribute  their  utmost  towards  so  good  a ivork .” 
They  unanimously  declared  that  “ any  man  of  honor  and 
integrity , of  ivhat  nation  degree  or  profession  soever ,”  was 
admissible  to  their  Society.  The  great  majority  of  their 
members  were  Scotchmen.  It  was,  and  is,  one  of  the 
standing  rules  that  they  should  dine  together  on  every 
Saint  Andrew’s  Day.  It  is  the  fixed  anniversary  of  the 
Society.  On  that  day  the  original  rules  were  first  signed. 
On  that  day  the  officers  for  the  ensuing  year  are  regularly 
chosen,  and  the  larger  benefactions  of  the  Society  bestowed. 
It  is  invariably  passed  in  that  social  intercourse  and  inno- 
cent enjoyment,  which  are  so  grateful  to  the  human  heart. 
On  that  day  “a  good  understanding  and  acquaintance  with 
one  another”  are  indeed  cultivated.  They  commemorate 
their  connexion  with  their  beloved  native  country.  They 
consider  her  as  their  common  mother,  looking  with  aifee-

tionato  solicitude  to  tho  fortunes  and  character  of  her 
children.  They  meet,  not  merely  as  men  of  the  same 
nation,  but  as  brothers  of  the  same  family.  Persons  who 
may  have  been  born  in  the  same  town,  and  who,  had  they 
continued  to  live  there,  might  not  even  have  spoken  to 
each  other,  are  drawn  together  by  ties  stronger,  if  possible, 
than  those  of  mere  consanguinity.  Every  one  feels  as  if  his 
humblest  countryman  formed,  as  it  were,  a part  of  himself, 
and  as  if  he  were  in  some  degree  responsible  for  his  con- 
duct. He  feels  as  if  the  honor  of  his  country  were  in  his 
individual  keeping,  and  the  slightest  deviation  from  recti- 
tude fills  him  with  mortification.  The  influence  of  this 
feeling  can  scarcely  be  estimated.  Its  whole  tendency 
assuredly  is  highly  salutary.  It  acts  upon  the  mind  as 
a healthy  atmosphere  does  upon  the  body.  It  invigorates 
every  moral  quality.  It  aids  in  preserving  the  individual 
from  the  contagion  of  evil  example  and  evil  habits,  and 
in  maintaining  uncontaminated  the  principles  which  he 
derived  from  his  native  country.  Seldom,  very  seldom,  do 
we  find  a Scotchman  falling  from  virtue,  who  mingles  freely 
with  his  countrymen.  What  they  would  pass  over  in 
another  with  pity,  perhaps  with  scorn,  in  him  they  cannot 
forget,  and  scarcely  forgive;  and  should  he  ever  prove  really 
criminal,  though  they  will  not  utterly  abandon  him  in  his 
dark  hour  of  sorrow  and  disgrace,  they  will,  in  the  midst 
of  their  commisseration  and  assistance,  view  him  with 
deeper  offence,  and  consider  him  as  a base,  degraded 
creature,  unworthy  of  the  name  of  Scotchman.  In  this  way 
Scotchmen  abroad  exercise  a great,  though  almost  insensi- 
ble control  over  each  other.  They  become  thoroughly 
acquainted  with  each  other’s  habits,  capacity  and  character, 
and  they  who  have  it  in  their  power  seldom  fail  to  patronize 
and  assist  their  deserving  countrymen. 

But  these  sentiments  do  not  govern  a Scotchman  towards 
liis  countrymen  alono ; thoy  are  in  a greater  or  loss  degree

extended  to  all  with  whom  ho  associates,  and  to  whom  ho 
connects  himself.  His  friendship  is  not  lightly  given, 
and  when  given  it  is  not  lightly  withdrawn.  His  friends 
and  his  acquaintances  vindicate  for  themselves  their  full 
share  in  his  affections,  and  no  one  devotes  himself  to  them 
with  more  inviolable  fidelity.  To  promote  their  well  being 
is  to  him  a source  of  high  gratification.  He  participates 
in  their  sorrows,  he  rejoices  in  their  prosperity.  To  meet 
together,  therefore,  as  we  do  in  this  Society,  and  “to 
cultivate  and  maintain  a good  understanding  and  acquaint- 
ance” with  “men  of  honor  and  integrity  of  what  nation, 
degree  or  profession  soever,”  is  a high  privilege  which  we 
delight  to  enjoy,  a sacred  duty  which  we  delight  to  obey, 
and  which  we  trust  our  successors  will  perpetuate. 

The  pledge,  too,  given  to  the  community  when  the 
Society  was  organized,  “to  do  generous  and  charitable 
actions,”  we  will  venture  to  say,  has  been  faithfully 
redeemed.  “Charity  and  the  relief  of  indigent  people” 
was  one  of  its  main  objects , and  no  charity  was  ever  more 
liberally  distributed.  It  was,  as  I have  said,  confined  to 
no  nation  or  class.  As  any  man  of  honor  and  integrity 
could  become  a member  of  the  Society,  so  to  be  in  distress 
was  the  only  qualification  an  individual  required  to  be 
admitted  to  partake  of  its  bounty. 

There  is  not  a more  ennobling  virtue  than  charity.  It 
exalts  and  purifies  the  heart.  It  adorns  and  improves  the 
mind.  It  cherishes  those  kindly  affections  which  are  our 
highest  ornament.  The  best  feelings  of  our  nature  expand 
and  grow  under  its  divine  influence.  The  humblest 
member  of  the  human  family  seems  to  us  like  a brother. 
We  enter  the  cottage  of  the  poor  and  needy;  we  hear  with 
sympathy  their  tale  of  suffering;  we  relieve  their  wants; 
we  soothe  their  afflictions ; we  pour  the  balm  of  consolation 
on  the  wounded  spirit.  We  become,  as  it  were,  ministering 
servants  of  the  great  Father  of  charity  and  mercy  to

distribute  his  goodness  among  our  fellow  creatures.  Many 
a salutary  lesson  are  we  taught  in  the  exercise  of  this  virtue. 
We  see,  AyithoUt  being  tainted  by  the  view,  the  different 
paths  by  which  vice  invariably  leads  to  misery.  We  learn 
the  misfortunes  by  which  merit  itself  is  often  followed,  the 
most  favorable  prospects  are  obscured,  and  the  best  laid 
plans  defeated.  We  gain  a deeper  insight  into  the  human 
heart — into  the  character  and  motives  of  men.  We  are 
taught  to  be  humble,  to  be  grateful  for  the  blessings 
which  we  enjoy,  to  use  them  without  abusing  them,  to 
consider  them  given  to  us  only  as  the  stewards  of  Heaven, 
and  to  submit  with  humility  to  whatever  Providence  may 
ordain  for  us.  Can  any  employment  be  more  laudable, 
more  honorable  than  this — more  worthy  of  an  accountable 
immortal  being?  Can  anything  here  below  give  him 
more  exalted  pleasure,  or  bring  him  nearer  to  the  great 
Author  of  his  being?  He  who,  touched  with  a deep  sense 
of  human  sorrow,  seeks  out  his  neighbors  in  their  affliction, 
who  labors  to  bind  up  the  broken  hearted  and  to  comfort 
those  who  mourn,  is  laying  up  for  himself  a rich  harvest 
of  grateful  recollections,  of  matured  wisdom  and  rational 
hope.  He  receives  here  the  blessing  of  those  who  are 
ready  to  perish,  and  we  trust  he  will  here  and  hereafter 
receive  the  blessing  of  Heaven.  He  that  giveth  to  the 
poor  lendeth  to  the  Lord.  And  the  Saviour  of  mankind 
himself,  bestows  the  kingdom  prepared  from  the  founda- 
tion of  the  world,  on  those  who  feed  the  hungry,  give 
drink  to  the  thirsty,  entertain  the  stranger,  clothe  the 
naked,  and  visit  the  sick  and  the  imprisoned  and  minister 
unto  them.  Let  us  then,  with  increasing  care  and  renewed 
zeal,  cherish  the  sacred  principles  which  are  the  founda- 
tions of  our  Society,  and  which  we  have  associated  to 
cultivate;  and  let  us  venerate  the  memory  of  the  men  by 
whom  they  were  adopted  as  our  bond  of  union.

because  a large  majority  of  its  founders  were  Scotchmen, 
and  by  them  chieily  it  has  been  maintained.  To  the 
Scotchmen  of  this  Society,  so  long  as  their  country  retains 
a name  and  a station  among  the  nations  of  the  earth,  the 
return  of  this  day  will  ever  be  peculiarly  grateful.  It 
revives,  with  more  than  ordinary  freshness,  all  their 
earlier  recollections.  They  live  over  the  days  of  their 
youth.  They  remember  with  renovated  vivacity  those 
scenes  that  make  Scotland  “loved  at  home  and  revered 
abroad.”  They  revel  in  the  pleasures  of  memory,  and 
fancy  often  paints  the  past  in  hues  of  joy,  that  were 
perhaps  denied  to  the  reality.  No  true  Scotchman  can 
forget  Scotland.  Her  prosperity  and  happiness  are  the 
objects  of  his  fervent  aspirations.  As  a member  of  this 
Society,  as  a native  Scotchman,  as  a citizen  of  South 
Carolina,  I do  with  the  deepest  feeling  congratulate  you, 
my  countrymen,  on  the  distinguished  reputation  and 
increasing  glory  of  the  land  of  our  birth.  Buchanan  (in 
1558)  nearly  three  hundred  years  ago,  sung  in  verso 
worthy  of  the  theme, 

“ Ilia  pharetratis  est  propria  gloria  Seotis 
Cingere  venatu  saltus,  superare  natando 
Flumina,  ferre  famem,  contemnere  frigora  et  testa, 

Nec  fossa  et  muris  patriam,  sed  marte  tueri, 

Et  spreta  incolumem  vita  defendcre  famem, 

Pollieiti  servare  fidem,  sanctumque  vereri 
Numen  amicitim,  mores  non  nionus  amare: 

Artibus  bis,  totum  fremerent  cum  bclla  pur  orbem, 

Nullaque  non  leges  tellus  mature!  avitas 
Externo  subjecta  jugo,  gens  una  vetustis 
Sedibus  antiqua,  sub  libertato  resedit.”  * 

* These  spirited  lines,  with  some  slight  inversion  of  the  senti- 
ments, may  be  thus  freely,  though  perhaps  tamely  translated. 

In  these  the  martial  Scots  their  glory  place, 

To  swim  o’er  rivers,  press  the  hardy  chase, 

To  bear  with  hunger,  cold  and  heat  despise,

ADDRESS  BEFORE  XUE 


They  have  not  fallen  from  this  high  estate.  Nay,  they 
have  claimed  and  vindicated  to  themselves  higher  and 
nobler  praise. 

In  the  tented  field  the  soldiery  of  Scotland  have  more 
than  maintained  their  former  rank.  Their  admirer  of  a 
sister  nation  has  called  them  “walls  in  the  trenches — 
whirlwinds  on  the  plain;”  and  their  own  gifted  poet  has 
sung  of  them,  that 

“ Ne’er  in  battle  field  tbrobb’d  heart  so  brave, 

As  that  which  beats  beneath  the  Scottish  plaid; 

And  when  the  pibroch  bids  the  battle  rave, 

And  level  for  the  charge  their  arras  are  laid, 

Where  lives  the  desperate  foe  that  for  such  onset  staid.” 

Europe  has  re-echoed  these  sentiments.  Beauty,  that 
delights  to  honor  and  reward  true  courage,  has  assumed 
their  livery,  and  the  Tartan  has  been  worn  from  the  cottage 
of  the  peasant  to  the  palace  of  the  king.  Their  capacity 
to  endure  fatigue — their  patient  fortitude — their  inflexible 
perseverance — their  active  courage,  have  never  been 
surpassed.  The  late  General  Moreau,  a most  competent 
judge,  when  asked  to  define  a vetern,  preferred  an  example 
to  a definition,  and  he  took  his  example  from  a corps  of 
Scotch  soldiers.  I cannot  on  this  occasion  refrain  from 
mentioning  an  anecdote  illustrative  of  this  character,  told 
to  me  by  a friend  who  was  in  Elanders  at  the  time  of  the 


To  bid  no  trenches  sink,  no  bulwarks  rise 
Around  their  country,  but  with  battle  brand 
From  every  foe  protect  the  hallow’d  land; 

Their  plighted  faith  inviolate  defend, 

And  deep  revere  the  sacred  name  of  friend; 

Their  honor  proudly  with  their  life  to  guard, 

And  virtue  love  as  its  own  best  reward: 

By  arts  like  these,  while  wars  the  world  derang’d, 
Their  ancient  laws  while  other  nations  chang’d, 
Subject  to  foreign  yoke:  this  race  alone 
Free  as  of  old,  unmov’d,  maintain’d  their  own.

battles  of  Quartre  Bras  and  Waterloo.  Soon  after  these 
battles,  he  conversed  with  a wounded  soldier  of  one  of  the 
Scottish  regiments  which  had  suffered  exceedingly  at 
Quartre  Bras,  and  had  maintained  themselves,  during  the 
protracted  struggle  of  a terrible  day,  against  repeated 
attacks  by  the  elite  of  the  French  army  in  greatly  superior 
numbers,  led  on  by  the  intrepid  Ney.  Their  successful 
resistance  saved  Brussels,  and  perhaps  the  British  army. 
My  friend  asked  this  soldier  why,  when  they  found  them- 
selves so  overwhelmed  by  numbers,  they  had  not  retreated. 
“We  were  placed  there,”  he  replied,  “to  maintain  the 
position,  and  we  cou’d  na  rin.”  When  the  Persian 
commanded  the  Spartan  to  surrender  his  arms,  was  his 
answer — “come  and  take  them” — more  heroic  than  this, 
“we  cou’d  na  rin.”  Well  might  Burns,  in  the  pride  of 
his  own  noble  spirit,  say  of  such  a soldier — 

“No  cold  faint  hearted  doubting  tease  him, 

Death  comes,  with  fearless  eye  he  sees  him, 

Wi’  bluidy  hand  a welcome  gies  him, 

And  when  he  fa’s, 

His  latest  draught  of  breathing  lea’es  him 
In  faint  huzzas.” 

In  the  arts  of  peace  the  sons  of  Scotland  are  equally 
distinguished.  To  enter  into  a detailed  statement  of  the 
success  with  which  they  have  cultivated  these  arts,  would 
far  exceed  the  limits  assigned  to  this  address.  It  is 
sufficient  to  say,  their  progress  in  manufactures  is  not 
excelled — their  improvements  in  mechanics  are  prabably 
unrivalled.  The  genius  of  their  Watts  did  more,  much 
more,  to  overthrow  the  gigantic  power  of  military  despot- 
ism, than  the  winter  of  Russia,  or  the  battle  of  Waterloo. 
It  did  more  to  sustain  the  energies  of  his  country,  than 
the  valor  and  conduct  of  Nelson  and  Wellington,  and  the 
firmness,  and  eloquence  and  wisdom  of  Pitt.  Their  agri- 
culture is  admitted  to  be  the  best  in  the  world.  In  no

other  country  are  such  abundant  harvests  reaped  from  a 
soil  naturally,  in  many  places,  so  unproductive.  The 
larch  and  the  pine  are  made  to  cover  the  naked  mountain, 
and  what  was  sterile  heath,  now  waves  with  golden  grain. 
Their  metropolis  is  a city  of  palaces,  combining  all  that 
is  pure  in  architecture,  with  all  that  is  romantic  and 
picturesque  in  situation ; and  the  whole  country  abounds 
with  the  finest  specimens  of  art.  In  every  department  of 
literature  and  science,  they  have  covered  themselves  with 
fresh  and  unfading  laurels. 

The  reformation  stirred  up  a spirit  of  deep  inquiry 
among  the  people  of  Scotland.  The  fervid  and  intrepid 
genius  of  her  reformers  yielded  to  no  authority  but  that  of 
reason  and  revelation.  Whatever,  in  temporal  things, 
was  not  sustained  by  reason,  they  treated  not  only  with 
indifference,  but  with  scorn — whatever,  in  divine  things, 
was  not  found  in  the  authenticated  record,  in  the  books  of 
acknowledged  inspiration,  or  was  not  legitimately  deducible 
from  them,  was  considered  as  mere  human  invention,  and 
entitled  to  no  higher  respect.  The  opinions,  the  doctrines 
of  none  of  the  fathers — the  canons  of  no  council — the 
decretals  of  no  pope — the  glosses  of  no  commentator— 
were  allowed  to  have  the  smallest  weight  against  the 
obvious  sense,  the  plain,  rational  interpretation  of  Scrip- 
ture. And  on  the  foundation  of  Scripture  alone,  and,  as 
they  believed,  in  perfect  conformity  with  its  doctrines,  they 
published  a confession  of  faith,  containing  the  most  sublime 
conceptions  of  the  Deity  and  of  his  attributes — an  expositon 
of  the  workings  of  his  Providence — of  the  relation  he  bears 
to  man — of  the  duties  of  man  both  as  a moral  and  religious 
being — of  the  rewards  which  follow  the  performance  of 
these  duties — and  of  the  sanctions  by  which  they  are 
enforced,  in  the  simplest  and  clearest  language,  and  yet 
combined  with  the  most  abstruse  theology  and  the  pro- 
foundest  metaphysics.  This  confession  of  faith,  and  the

abstract  of  it  in  the  catechism  of  their  church,  and  the 
proofs,  as  they  are  often  termed,  accompanying  that 
catechism,  and  the  Bible  itself,  ail  in  the  hands  of  almost 
every  peasant  in  Scotland,  and  impressed  on  his  mind  in  a 
manner  never  to  be  wholly  forgotten,  have  probably  done 
.more  to  form  the  national  character,  as  it  now  exists,  than 
any  other  cause — nay,  than  all  other  causes  united. 
Habits  of  earnest  and  free  inquiry — of  severe  thought — of 
strict  morality — of  deep  religious  feeling,  were  produced 
among  the  people; — and  the  noble  example,  which  they 
first  set,  of  a well  ordered  system  of  public  instruction, 
confirmed  and  exalted  these  habits. 

From  the  earliest  ages,  they  were  distinguished  for  their 
love  of  liberty.  Their  own  historian,  in  his  great  work 
dedicated  to  a sovereign,  who  pretended  to  govern  a sister 
kingdom  by  divine  right,  tells  them  by  one  of  their  own 
statesmen,  “ Gens  Scot  or  um,  cum  ab  initio  libera  esset, 
lieges  eo  jure  sibi  creavit,  id  imperium,  populi  svjjragiis 
eis  manclatum , si  res  posceret,  eisdem  suffragiis  adimere 
possent” — u Regain n nihil  aliucl  esse  quam  mutuam  inter 
populos  et  reges  stipulationem.”  And  long  before  Hamp-> 
den  had  resisted  the  encroachments  of  regal  prerogative, 
before  Sidney  had  written,  or  Milton  sung,  Buchanan’s 
£>e  jure  regni  apud  Scotos  had  maintained  the  principle, 
“ Lex  rege,  populus  lege  potentior ,”  and  is  one  of  the  most 
eloquent  and  powerful  eulogies  on  regulated  freedom 
which  ancient  or  modern  literature  has  produced.  Nor 
were  these  the  opinions  of  Buchanan  alone,  “a  man  by. 
ancient  learning  to  the  love  of  ancient  freedom  warmed.” 
They  were  through  Europe  characteristic  of  the  people. 
De  Thou,  no  granter  of  propositions,  says,  “ in  them  liberty 
is  innate.”  “ Libertate  genti  innata,”  and  “ Fier  comme 
un  Ecossais rvas  proverbial.  Their  choice  of  a form  of 
church  government,  which  approaches  nearer  to  a repre- 
sentative democracy  than  any  other,  and  of  which  the

humblest  individual,  as  an  elder  of  the  church,  may  become 
a member,  was,  perhaps  unconsciously  to  themselves, 
influenced  by  these  opinions;  and  this  polity  in  its  turn 
strengthened  the  opinions  in  which  it  originated.  The 
solemn  league  and  covenant  of  Scotland,  made  by  the 
reformei's,  breathes  a higher  and  purer  spirit  of  liberty 
than  ever  distinguished  the  proudest  days  of  Greece  and 
Rome.  Knox  and  his  associates  and  successors,  while 
they  overturned  the  authority  of  the  Romish  church, 
disdained  to  submit  to  civil  tyranny.  Their  principles 
have  descended  to  their  posterity,  and  will,  we  trust,  be 
over  preserved  inviolate. 

The  unsettled  state  of  the  country  after  the  reformation 
— the  persecutions,  as  they  may  well  be  termed,  to  which, 
for  conscience  sake,  it  was  subjected — the  removal  of 
the  court  to  London — the  custom  then  prevalent  of  writing 
in  Latin,  and  their  want  of  familiarity  with  the  idiom  of 
England,  long  repressed  the  literature  of  Scotland.  But 
the  soil  was  in  a state  of  preparation — the  seed  was  sown, 
and  the  harvest  at  last  burst  -forth  with  irrepressible 
luxuriance  and  beauty.  Who  can  pretend  to  describe  the 
riches — the  abundance  of  this  harvest.  Who  shall  esti- 
mate its  importance.  The  choicest  treasures  of  thought — 
of  fancy — of  invention — have  been  poured  forth,  with 
unfailing  and  almost  unrivalled  profusion.  If  you  look 
over  the  long  roll  of  those  master  spirits  who,  during  the 
existence  of  our  Society,  have  added  most  to  the  stock  of 
human  knowledge,  who,  by  their  intellectual  exertions, 
have  best  deserved  to  be  ranked  among  the  benefactors  of 
mankind,  what  country  can  claim  so  large  a number  as 
Scotland?  Their  praises  are  on  every  tongue.  Their 
works  are  in  every  hand.  They  form  the  text  books  of 
our  schools  and  colleges.  They  are  found  in  the  shop  of 
the  mechanic,  in  the  counting  house  of  the  merchant,  on 
the  table  of  the  physician  and  lawyer,  in  the  study  of  the

philosopher,  in  the  cabinet  of  the  statesman,  and  on  the 
desk  of  the  divine.  There  is  no  language  or  people  where 
their  voice  is  not  heard — where  they  do  not  improve  the 
heart,  and  instruct  and  influence  the  mind. 

Her  historians  are  perhaps  unequalled  among  the 
moderns,  and  they  vie  with,  if  they  do  not  surpass,  the 
models  of  antiquity.  Robertson  led  the  way,  and  gave 
the  first  specimens  of  a classical  history  in  the  English 
language.  Hume,  with  an  elegance  and  simplicity  all  his 
own,  and  blending  the  profoundest  lessons  of  wisdom  with 
a masterly  apology  for  an  unhappy  and  unfortunate  family, 
has  established  a reputation  which  he  who  hopes  and 
labors  to  rival,  will  probably  hope  and  labor  in  vain.  They 
were  followed  by  Ferguson,  and  Gillies,  and  Laing,  and 
many  others,  of  whom  the  country  may  well  be  proud. 

In  philosophy,  the  school  of  Reid,  and  Beattie,  and 
Stewart,  unravelled  the  plausible  and  profound  sophistry, 
by  which  Hume,  from  the  principles  of  Locke  and  Berkley, 
had  endeavored  to  prove  that  we  have  no  satisfactory 
evidence  of  the  existence  of  either  matter  or  mind,  “that 
nought  is  every  thing,  and  every  thing  is  nought,”  and  to 
involve  the  foundations  of  our  knowledge  in  a thick 
impenetrable  cloud  of  cheerless,  heartless,  desolating 
scepticism ; and  they  brought  back  the  true  philosophy — 
that  philosophy  which  maintains  the  dignity  of  human 
nature,  and  the  immateriality  and  immortality  of  mind — 
from  the  dissecting  room  of  the  anatomist,  and  the  labora- 
tory of  the  chemist,  and  placed  it  on  the  sur8  basis  of 
sound  common  sense,  enlightened  experience  and  unbiassed 
reason. 

In  mathematical  philosophy,  Maclaurin,  and  Simson, 
and  Robison,  and  Playfair,  are  names  not  to  be  forgotten. 
Kaimes,  Blair  and  Campbell  are  still  in  criticism  and 
rhetoric  our  standard  authorities.  Adam  Smith  has 
created  a new  science,  and  taught  the  present  age,  and

unborn  ages,  the  true  principles  of  national  prosperity  and 
national  happiness.  He  has  analyzed,  with  consummate 
ability,  the  sources  of  morality  in  the  deep  sympathies  of 
the  human  heart,  and  developed  their  tendency  and  effect 
with  the  greatest  power  and  beauty.  Munro,  and  Cullen, 
and  Hunter,  and  Gregorie,  and  Brown,  have  extended  the 
boundaries  of  the  healing  art;  and  Black,  by  his  discovery 
of  latent  heat,  paved  the  way  for  the  splendid  achieve- 
ments of  modern  chemistry. 

Scotland  is  full  of  song  and  poetry.  Every  hill,  and 
grove,  and  valley,  is  vocal  with  harmony.  Throughout 
the  land,  the  humblest  peasant  seems  touched  with  some 
spark  of  the  etherial  fire.  There  is  no  people  over  whom 
it  exercises  a deeper  and  more  lasting  influence.  Compar- 
atively unskilled  in  the  intricacies  and  elaborate  graces  of 
highly  refined  music,  their  own  artless  melodies  find  a 
corresponding  chord  in  every  bosom;  and  the  immortal 
verse  to  which  they  have  been  married  by  the  genius  of  a 
Ramsay,  a Burns,  a McNeil,  and  many  other  native  poets, 
pierces  the  meeting  soul,  and  thrills  through  every  heart. 
Unnumbered  votaries  have  woi’shipped  at  the  shrine  of 
poetry,  and  covered  it  with  wreaths  and  garlands  of 
imperishable  beauty.  They  have  poured  out,  with  lavish 
profusion,  the  noblest  and  most  spirit-stirring  strains:  and 
the  mighty  magician  of  the  north,  with  a mind  replete 
with  knowledge,  an  imagination  fertile,  inventive,  bound- 
less far  beyond  all  Greek  and  Roman  fame — beyond  all 
former  fame — a taste  refined,  purified  and  exalted — a 
judgment  comprehensive  and  vigorous — the  keenest  insight 
into  the  human  heart — the  deepest  sense  of  human  feelings, 
and  foibles,  and  prejudices,  and  passions — has,  with  all  the 
energy  and  spirit  of  his  own  old  border  ancestors,  made 
the  most  successful,  incursions  into  almost  every  depart- 
ment of  literature,  and  borne  away  the  richest  spoils  ar>d 
the  most  triumphant  victories.

The  establishment  of  the  Edinburgh  Review  alone,  may 
almost  be  considered  as  a new  era  in  literature.  It  has 
served  as  a model  for  many  other  works  of  the  same  kind 
and  of  high  merit.  It  has  done  more  to  enlighten  the 
general  mind,  to  diffuse  knowledge  in  every  branch  of 
physical,  moral,  intellectual  and  political  science,  than  any 
other  work  by  which  it  was  preceded.  It  has  maintained  the 
principles  of  sound  criticism,  of  pure  taste,  of  enlightened 
liberality,  of  unshackled  trade,  of  regulated  freedom,  of 
universal  toleration,  with  so  much  splendor  of  eloquence, 
felicity, of  illustration  and  power  of  reason,  as  to  dazzle, 
delight  and  instruct  every  intelligent  reader.  It  has 
unquestionably,  by  the  mere  force  of  talent  and  weight  of 
argument,  contributed  largely  to  the  noblest  victories  of 
truth  and  justice  over  error  and  injustice,  that  have  ever 
been  achieved.  The  removal,  so  far  as  it  has  gone  in 
England,  of  restrictions  on  commerce,  is  greatly  owing  to 
its  advocacy.  It  labored  with  untiring  zeal,  and  finally 
with  signal  success,  in  aiding  to  procure  the  abolition  of 
the  African  trade — a trade  which  had  been  solemnly 
denounced  in  America,  before  the  war  of  the  revolution, 
by  that  very  part  of  the  country  which  might  have  been 
thought  most  interested  in  the  continuance  of  the  odious 
traffic.  Of  Catholic  emancipation  it  has  been  the  steady, 
consistent,  indefatigable  and  ablest  supporter.  It  did 
more  to  prepare  the  public  mind  for  that  great  measure, 
to  refute  objections,  to  allay  fears,  to  persuade,  to  counsel, 
to  encourage,  to  consummate,  than  any  other  work, 
perhaps  than  all  other  works  united : and  it  has  rejoiced 
in  the  final  triumph,  with  an  assured,  unwavering  confi- 
dence in  its  deep  importance  and  lasting  utility,  and  with 
the  most  considerate  regard  for  the  honest  prejudices  of 
its  defeated  adversaries. 

It  would  occupy  much  more  time  than  can  be  given  to 
this  occasion,  to  attempt  either  to  enumerate  the  highly 


92 


ADDRESS  BEFORE  THE 


eminent  and  gifted  men  whom  Scotland  has  produced 
within  the  last  century,  or  to  estimate  the  additions  which 
they  have  made  to  the  sum  of  human  knowledge,  and  the 
means  of  human  enjoyment.  But  it  is  not  hazarding  too 
much — it  is  no  exaggeration— to  assert,  that  in  profound, 
correct  and  original  thinking — in  clear,  d_^ep  and  conclusive 
reasoning — in  the  efforts  of  a fertile,  chastened  and  vigorous 
imagination — in  the  destruction  of  inveterate  and  hurtful 
prejudices — in  the  defence  of  sound  practical  principles — 
in  all  that  can  ornament — in  all  that  can  dignify — in  all 
that  can  purify — in  all  that  can  instruct — in  all  that  can 
better  society,  Scotland,  within  these  last  hundred  years, 
has  done  more  than  any  other  nation  in  Europe.  And  all 
this  glorious  intellectual  wealth  is  well  sustained  by  the 
moral  and  religious  character  of  her  people. 

If  fact  be  preferable  to  mere  theory — if  one  well  ascer- 
tained experiment  be  sufficient  to  destroy  the  most  plausible 
inconsistent  hypothesis,  then  Scotland  is  an  unanswerable 
refutation  of  that  terrible  philosophy  which  would  dissever 
religion  from  morals,  and  teaches  that  faith  has  nothing  to 
do  with  virtue;  that  a man  may  believe  in  the  existence 
of  Grod,  in  the  immortality  of  the  soul,  in  its  future  account- 
ability, in  rewards  and  punishments  beyond  the  grave, 
and  yet  that  this  belief  does  not  strengthen  or  sustain  his 
morality,  or  aid  it  by  higher  and  holier  than  earthly 
motives.  In  Scotland,  morality  is  founded  not  merely  on 
utility,  or  the  sympathies  of  our  nature,  or  the  common 
consent  of  mankind,  or  all  these  combined,  but  also  on 
natural  and  revealed  religion;  and  in  no  country  on  earth 
is  it  more  untainted,  uncompromising,  inflexible.  In  none 
are  its  dictates  more  faithfully  and  fearlessly  obeyed.  Here 
“ Loyal,  just  and  pure, 

Eelations  dear,  and  all  the  charities 
Of  father,  son  and  brother,” 

receive  the  deep  homage,  the  enduring  and  endearing

fealty  of  the  heart.  The  private  affections,  the  ties  of 
friendship  and  neighborhood,  are  earnestly  cherished; 
and  the  love  of  country  burns  in  every  bosom.  Just,  not 
in  their  dealings  only,  but  in  their  estimate  of  the  motives 
and  talents  and  characters  of  others,  punctual  in  their 
engagements,  faithful,  industrious  and  persevering,  frugal 
and  generous,  charitable  in  judging  of  others  and  severe 
in  judging  of  themselves,  the  Scotch  place  their  highest 
happiness  in  the  performance  of  their  duties.  No  people 
are  more  enterprising,  or  unite  more  prudence  with  their 
enterprise.  Fearless,  sensitive,  of  a proud,  unyielding, 
self-relying  spirit — they  feel  a stain  like  a wound — they 
prefer  death  to  dishonor.  Even  the  very  peasantry 
exhibit  this  spirit,  and  shrink  from  the  contamination 
of  poor  rates  and  poor  laws,  and  sustain  themselves 
and  their  indigent  relatives,  under  the  pressure  of 
misfortune,  with  uncomplaining  patience  and  unbending 
fortitude. 

The  religious  character  of  Scotland  is  beyond  all  earthly 
praise.  The  Bible  is  in  the  hand  of  every  peasant  in  the 
country.  Its  doctrines  and  precepts  are  the  subject  of  his 
daily  meditation,  and  he  strives  to  make  them  the  rule  of 
his  thoughts,  words  and  actions.  Here  the  domestic  altar 
is  raised,  and  the  morning  and  evening  vows  are  paid. 
The  fireside  of  the  father  of  Robert  Burns,  and  his  Satur- 
day Night,  are  fresh  in  the  recollection  of  you  all,  and 
present  a beautiful  and  faithful  picture  of  real  life,  of 
which  perhaps  no  country  but  Scotland  could  furnish  the 
original.  The  Sabbath  here  is  indeed  a day  of  rest.  The 
house  of  God  is  thronged  with  sedate,  decorous  and 
devoted  worshippers.  The  heart  is  filled  with  deep  rever- 
ence and  holy  awe — with  unfeigned  repentance  and 
unfaltering  faith.  The  mind  is  elevated  above  the  cares, 
and  trials,  and  miseries  of  this  life,  and  looks  with  exulting 
hope,  and  renewed  purpose  of  stricter  obedience,  to  the

future  rewards  promised  to  those  who  do  justice,  and  love 
mercy,  and  walk  humbly  with  God. 

The  clergy  of  Scotland  are  her  boast  and  her  honor. 
Happily  placed  as  a connecting  link  between  the  higher 
and  the  humbler  classes  in  society — elevated  by  their 
learning,  their  talents  and  their  holy  office  to  a level  with 
the  one,  and  bound  by  their  duty,  their  sympathy,  and 
often  by  their  birth  to  the  other — there  is  no  body  of  men 
who  have  ever  attained  a higher  respectability,  or  who 
have  more  richly  deserved  the  affection  and  gratitude  of 
their  countrymen.  Incalculable  is  the  good  that  they  do, 
not  merely  as  teachers  of  moral  and  religious  truth,  but 
by  the  purity  of  their  own  example,  and  as  the  advisers, 
the  comforters,  the  friends  of  their  congregation.  The 
time  was,  when  their  discipline  may  have  been  too  severe, 
and  their  interference  in  the  private  concerns  of  individuals 
too  obtrusive,  and  their  meddling  with  public  affairs 
factious  and  improper — when,  in  fine,  their  zeal,  however 
elevated  and  disinterested,  was  greater  than  their  wisdom. 
But  that  time  has  long  passed  away.  Their  whole  influence 
now  is  only  benign  and  salutary,  and  is  exercised  with 
enlightened  prudence  and  liberality.  A spirit  of  toleration 
prevails,  which,  without  impairing  their  zeal  for  the  rights 
of  the  church — and  the  cause  of  virtue — and  the  soundness 
of  doctrine — and  the  spread  of  true  piety — has  softened 
their  austerity,  without  diminishing  their  usefulness.  They 
live  in  the  affections  of  their  people,  and  do  more,  much 
more,  to  promote  their  temporal  comfort  and  spiritual 
improvement,  by  mildness  and  meekness,  forbearance  and 
Christian  charity,  than  rigor  and  reproach,  mortification 
and  forced  penance  ever  could  accomplish.  We  have  lately 
seen  one  of  the  foremost  men  of  this  church,  the  true 
representative  of  Hamilton,  of  Wishart,  and  of  Knox, 
with  all  their  zeal,  and  fervor,  and  firmness,  and  more 
than  all  their  ability,  tempered  by  far  more  enlarged  and

profound  knowledge,  and  a more  truly  evangelical  spirit, 
the  learned,  the  intellectual  Chalmers,  with  an  eloquence 
that  would  have  honored  Demosthenes  himself,  and  a 
comprehensive  wisdom  which,  great  as  he  was,  Demos- 
thenes never  knew,  disclaiming  and  deprecating  the  aid 
of  secular  power  to  protect  the  doctrines  and  faith  of  the 
church,  and  asking  but  the  Bible,  and  the  weapons 
furnished  by  that  armory,  to  make  good  her  cause  against 
all  gainsayers.  It  was  no  blind  partiality  or  filial  prejudice, 
that  prompted  from  the  eloquent  and  high  minded  Curran, 
his  noble  and  splendid  eulogium  on  Scotland,  as  “ a nation 
east  in  the  happy  medium,  between  the  spiritless,  acqui- 
escence of  submissive  poverty  and  the  sturdy  credulity  of 
pampered  wealth.  Cool  and  ardent — adventurous  and 
persevering — winning  her  eagle  flight  against  the  blaze  of 
every  science,  with  an  eye  that  never  winks  and  a wing 
that  never  tires.  Crowned  as  she  is  with  the  spoils  of 
every  art,  and  decked  with  the  wreath  of  every  muse,  from 
the  deep  and  scrutinizing  researches  of  her  Humes,  to  the 
sweet  and  simple,  but  not  less  sublime  and  pathetic 
morality  of  her  Burns.”  And  shall  not  her  sons  remember, 
and  love  and  venerate  Scotland.  Yes,  with  hearts  burning 
within  us,  we  remember  the  irredeemable  debt  of  gratitude 
which  we  owe  to  her.  We  rejoice  in  her  prosperity,  her 
honor,  her  virtue,  her  piety;  and  we  thank  God  we  were 
born  Scotchmen. 

“ Land  of  brown  heath  and  shaggy  wood — 

Land  of  the  mountain  and  the  flood — 

Land  of  our  sires ; — what  mortal  hand 

Can  e’er  untie  the  filial  band 

That  knits  us  to  thy  rugged  strand.” 

But  Scotchmen  are  often  accused  of  being  too  national; 
that  is,  in  the  sense  in  which  the  word  is  used  as  a term  of 
vituperation,  they  are  so  much  devoted  to  their  native 
country— they  remember  it  with  so  intense  a regard  that

they  cannot  be  sincerely  attached  to  another.  Now  the 
feeling  made  the  subject  of  reproach  lies  at  the  very  root 
of  almost  every  virtue.  Eradicated,  and  the  heart  becomes 
a barren  wilderness;  cherish  it,  and  the  domestic  affec- 
tions, the  ornament  and  charm  and  support  of  social  life, 
grow  up  and  flourish  with  the  most  benign  and  grateful 
influence.  We  love  our  father  and  our  mother,  and  the 
same  principle  which  binds  us  to  them,  binds  us  to  our 
country.  Now  in  no  country  on  earth  are  the  domestic 
attachments  stronger  than  in  Scotland — perhaps  in  no 
other  are  they  so  strong.  Other  nations  are  apt  to  consider 
the  feelings  of  Scotchmen  in  this  respect  as  romantic  and 
extravagant.  The  remotest  connexion  by  consanguinity 
is  borne  in  remembrance,  and  is  generally  recognized  as  a 
lasting  bond  of  mutual  benevolence.  The  humblest 
clansman,  that  bears  the  name,  deems  himself  of  the  blood 
of  his  lord,  and  pays  his  homage  to  the  head  of  the  house 
with  generous  self  devotion.  The  very  same  feelings  bind 
a Scotchman,  with  equal  sincerity  and  fervor,  to  the  land 
of  his  adoption,  and  the  objects  of  his  deliberate  choice. 
He  leaves  his  native  country,  the  home  of  his  childhood, 
the  bosom  of  his  mother,  the  brothers  and  sisters  of  his 
heart.  He  settles  himself  permanently  in  some  far  distant 
land.  Probably  he  chooses  to  himself  a partner  for  life, 
and  soon  has  a young  and  beloved  family  rising  around 
him.  He  may  have  been  a devotedly  affectionate  son,  a 
kind  attentive  brother,  and  would  he  on  that  account  be  a 
less  faithful  friend,  a less  affectionate  husband,  a less  kind 
indulgent  father.  If  such  a one  could  forget  the  land  of 
his  birth— if  he  could  forget  the  mother  who,  with  ten- 
derness and  care  ineffable,  watched  over  his  infancy — if  he 
could  forget  the  friends  and  companions  of  his  youth — if 
he  could  cease  to  remember  them  with  a continuing  and 
fervent  attachment— what  would  be  the  value  and  strength 
of  his  regard  to  the  new  objects  of  his  affection.  He  would 


st.  Andrew’s  society,  1829. 


97 


be  unworthy  of  being  called  a man.  He  would  be  utterly 
unworthy  of  being  a Scotchman — utterly  unworthy  of 
belonging  to  any  country,  and  much  more  of  becoming  a 
citizen  of  a free  and  enlightened  republic.  No;  the  true 
hearted  Scotchman,  he  who  is  worthy  of  the  name,  who  is 
worthy  of  his  native  country,  will  fondly  cherish  the 
memory  of  his  early  affections.  He  will  be  proud  of  being 
national.  He  will  not  stoop  to  extenuate,  or  to  conceal 
that  nationality.  But  he  will  also  dedicate  himself  with  a 
sacred  devotion  to  the  duties  by  which  he  is  surrounded, 
and  with  which  his  own  usefulness  and  happiness  are 
inseparably  bound  up.  He  will  endeavor,  by  every  means 
in  his  power,  to  promote  the  well  being  and  prosperity  of 
the  community  of  which  he  is  a member.  He  will  pre- 
serve his  pledged  faith  with  inviolable  fidelity;  and  in  the 
hour  of  peril  he  will  maintain  that  faith  with  his  fortune 
and  his  life. 

Ask  the  nations  of  Europe — ask  every  nation  and  people 
visited  by  civilized  man  round  the  habitable  glode,  whether 
the  nationality  of  Scotchmen  has  ever  prevented  them 
from  doing  their  duty  to  a country  with  which  they  have 
been  connected.  When  and  where  were  their  promises 
broken,  and  their  pledged  faith  violated?  When  have 
they  betrayed  the  trust  reposed  in  them,  or  bartered  their 
honor  for  gain?  Ask  of  every  nation,  who  are  the  for- 
eigners settled  among  them  who  are  industrious,  diligent, 
prudent,  punctual,  honorable — in  whom  they  have  entire 
confidence,  whom  they  are  willing  to  have  as  neighbors, 
or  to  select  as  friends.  Ask  what  nation,  in  proportion  to 
its  population,  has  given  the  greatest  number  of  soldiers, 
and  sailors,  and  instructors,  and  officers,  and  statesmen,  to 
the  rest  of  the  world.  And  though  some  of  the  other 
nations  may  in  this  respect  claim  for  themselves  the  first 
rank,  we  confidently  believe  that  every  nation  will  assign, 
if  not  the  first,  at  least  the  second  place  to  Scotland,  and

she  will  thus  be  entitled  to  bear  the  palm.  Yes,  well 
have  her  sons  earned  the  praise  bestowed  on  them,  that 

“Of  unequal  bounds 
Impatient,  and  by  tempting  glory  borne 
O’er  every  land,  for  every  land  their  life 
Has  flowed  profuse — their  piercing  genius  plann’d 
And  svvell’d  the  pomp  of  peace;  their  faithful  toil: 

As  from  their  own  clear  North,  in  radiant  streams, 

Bright  over  Europe,  bursts  the  Boreal  morn.” 

Yes,  history  is  full  of  examples.  It  would  be  vain  to 
repeat  them.  They  have  assuredly  not  been  wanting  in 
these  United  States.  A Witherspoon  and  a Wilson  signed 
the  Declaration  of  Independence ; and  a Jones  first  hoisted 
that  starry  banner  which  has  since  so  nobly  braved  the 
battle  and  the  storm  Even  in  our  own  South  Carolina, 
we  have  the  honor  of  being  the  oldest  charitable  Society. 
The  legacy  of  our  McKenzie  is  believed  to  have  been  the 
first  liberal  donation  given  here,  to  promote  the  cause  of 
science  and  literature;  and  the  dispensary  of  our  Shirras 
is  the  best  endowed  and  the  most  munificent  private  charity 
in  the  State.  To  what  does  a Scotchman  owe  these  high, 
these  honorable  distinctions  ? To  the  unconquerable 
courage,  the  powerful,  brilliant  and  pure  literature,  the 
profound  science,  the  generous  enterprise,  the  inflexible 
perseverance,  the  lofty  integrity,  the  hallowed  religion,  of 
his  native  country  To  the  principles  there  implanted  in 
his  bosom  and  interwoven  with  his  very  being.  Shall  we, 
can  we  forget,  can  we  cease  to  revere  such  a country. 

“No;  while  the  warm  blood  bedews  our  veins, 

And  unimpaired  remembrance  reigns,” 

the  memory  of  our  country  shall  dwell  within  our  heart  of

enterprise,  profound  in  wisdom,  unbending  in  morality, 
unsullied  in  honor,  and  pure  in  religion.  We  will  speak 
of  thee  to  our  children  and  to  our  children’s  children. 
We  will  strive  to  impress  on  their  minds  the  principles 
we  derived  from  thee,  and  teach  them  to  love  and  venerate 
thee.  And  when  the  hour  cometh  that  shall  dissolve  this 
tenement  of  clay,  and  the  disembodied  spirit  shall  wing  its 
mysterious  flight  to  another,  and,  we  fervently  trust,  to  a 
better  world,  the  memory  of  thee  shall  mingle  with  our 
last  prayer. 

Gentlemen  of  the  Saint  Andrew’s  Society  : 

We  are  engaged  in  a high  and  a holy  office.  Our  prede- 
cessors, the  sons  of  Scotland,  in  honor  of  the  land  of  their 
birth,  and  to  commemorate  the  sacred  principles  which 
they  inherited  from  her,  one  hundred  years  ago  formed 
this  association,  and  erected  here  an  altar  to  brotherly 
love  and  charity;  and  they  invited  the  virtuous  and  the 
good  of  every  people  to  join  in  their  devotion.  Here  they 
kneeled  in  deep  reverence,  and  paid  the  homage  of  the 
willing  heart,  and  brought  their  ample  offerings,  and 
recorded  their  solemn  vows.  With  enlightened  zeal  and 
purified  purpose,  they  fed  the  consecrated  flame  that  burns 
on  this  altar,  and  taught  it  to  aspire  with  a steady  and 
benign  lustre.  The  desolate  and  the  distressed  hailed  its 
light,  and  rejoiced  in  its  enlivening  influence.  They  were 
warmed  by  its  heat  and  cheered  by  its  splendor.  They 
blessed  the  benevolence  and  piety  by  which  it  had  been 
raised,  and  they  prayed  for  its  continuance.  To  us  our 
predecessors  left  it  blazing  with  undiminished  radiance, 
and  we  have  associated  to  guard  it  from  all  decay.  Let 
us  earnestly  watch  over  the  hallowed  charge.  Let  us 
strive  to  cause  it  to  burn  brighter  and  brighter,  and  to 
spread  its  beams  with  more  diffusive  gladness  over  a wider 
and  a wider  circle,  and  thus  let  us  transmit  it  to  our

successors.  And  you,  our  successors  in  this  society — ye 
men  “'of  honor  and  integrity,  of  what  nation,  degree 
or  profession  soever  ” — we  invite  you  to  come  and  minister 
at  this  altar.  We  invite  you  to  cherish  this  flame — to 
feed  it  with  your  richest  spices  and  your  choicest  oil — and 
to  fan  it  with  unwearied  zeal,  until  it  communicate  its 
fervor  to  all  around,  and  warm  every  bosom  with  an 
intense  glow  of  love  and  charity.  And  when  this  frame  of 
things  shall  pass  away — when  the  heavens  shall  be  gath- 
ered together  like  a scroll,  and  the  elements  shall  melt 
with  fervent  heal — then  the  flame  that  was  kindled  on 
“this  dim  spot  which  men  call  earth,”  shall  burn  and 
brighten  “before*- the  starry  thershold”  of  God’s  court, 
with  greater  ardor  and  constantly  increasing  splendor 
through  the  ages  of  eternity.

SKETCH 


OF  THE 


OF  THE 


CITY  OF  CHARLESTON. 


BY  HOY.  MITCHELL  KING. 


On  Saint  Andrew’s  Day,  the  30th  of  November,  1729,  a 
number  of  gentlemen,  chiefly  natives  of  Scotland,  residing 
in  Charlestown,  met,  and  with  “ the  principal  design,”  as 
they  have  themselves  recorded,  “to  promote  some  public 
good  by  the  joint  endeavors  of  a number  of  people,” 
agreed  to  unite  themselves  together,  and  that  “ the  Society 
shall  be  called  by  the  name  of  The  Saint  Andkew^s  Club, 
at  Charlestown,  in  South  Carolina.”  So  earnest  were 
they  in  their  purpose,  that  by  the  30th  of  November,  1730, 
a Code  of  Twenty-Eight  Rules,  or  By-Laws,  for  their 
government  was  framed,  Engrossed,  and — to  use  again  their 
own  language — “ voted  unanimously,  agreed,  and  sealed 
with  the  Seal  of  the  Society,  at  Charlestown,  in  South  Caro- 
lina, the  thirtieth  day  of  November,  in  the  year  of  our  Lord 
15 


lUSTOKY  OF  THE

one  thousand  seven  hundred  and  thirty,”  and  signed  by 
Alexander  Skene,  Esq.,  President;  John  Fraser,  Vice- 
President;  James  Crokatt,  Treasurer;  James  Grteme, 
Assistant;  Walter  Burn,  Clerk;  and  sixty  members. 

These  Pules  were:  “London:  Printed  by  James 

Crokatt,  Printer  and  Bookseller  to  the  Society,  at  the 
Golden  Ivey,  next  the  Inner  Temple  Gate,  in  Fleet  Street, 

1731, ”  with  the  names  of  all  the  original  signers  in 
November,  1730.  The  printer,  the  last  on  the  list,  desig- 
nates himself'  Bibliopola  ad  Socictatem.  He  seems  to 
have  been  proud  of  his  relation  to  them.  Nichols,  as 
reported  by  Timperley,  says  he  was  the  greatest  literary 
projector  of  the  age.  He  originated  the  Universal  History, 
and  had  a hand  in  planning  the  Daily  Advertiser.  The 
Seal,  according  to  the  Seventeenth  Pule,  was  of  Silver, 
with  a Thistle  under  a Crown,  engraved  on  it,  with  the 
epigraph  “JVemo  me  impuae  lacessit,;n  and  this  is  still  the 
Seal  of  the  Society. 

To  give  a brief  Sketch  of  the  History  of  the  Society 
would  be,  in  a great  measure,  to  repeat  what  was  written 
and  published  at  the  celebration  of  the  Centennial  Anniver- 
sary in  1829.  The  Society  was  numerous  and  prosperous. 
They  received  every  year  considerable  accessions  from  the 
most  respectable  classes  of  the  community.  In  1731,  they 
were  joined  by  twenty-eight  new  members;  among  them 
were  His  Excellency  Pobert  Johnson,  the  Poyal  Governor, 
and  Pobert  Wright,  Chief  Justice  of  South  Carolina.  In 

1 732,  they  elected  eighteen  new  members ; among  them  were 
James  Michie,  afterwards  Speaker  of  the  House  of  Repre- 
sentatives, and  died  Chief  Justice  in  1760,  and  the  Pev. 
Archibald  Stobo,  who,  providentially  saved  from  a fearful 
hurricane,  was  long  the  pastor  -of  the  Congregationalists 
and  Presbyterians,  worshipping  together  in  the  same 
Church,  and  was  probably  the  first  who  collected  the 
Presbyterians  of  Chailestown  into  one  Church.  The 


ST.  ANDREW  S SOCIETY.

number  of  the  members  of  the  Society  continued  to  increase 
with  the  growth  of  the  city,  and  their  active  benevolence, 
wherever  it  was  required,  was  diffused  through  the  com- 
munity. Their  meetings  were  held  with  great  regularity. 
Annually,  on  their  anniversary,  Saint  Andrew’s  Day,  the 
officers  for  the  ensuing  year  are  elected.  On  the  death  of 
Mr.  Skene,  in  1740,  the  Honorable  James  Abercrombie, 
believed  to  be  of  the  House  of  Tullibody,  now  represented 
by  Baron  Abercromby,  of  Aboukir  & Tullibody,  was 
elected  President.  The  Honorable  John  Oleland,  a mem- 
ber of  the  Legislative  Council,  succeeded  him,  and  on  his 
death,  in  1760,  Dr.  John  Moultrie,  of  Culross,  Scotland, 
one  of  the  original  founders  of  the  Society,  who  signed  the 
Pules  in  November,  1730,  the  ancestor  of  the  Moultrie 
family  in  South  Carolina,  was  elected  to  the  Presidency. 
On  the  death  of  Dr.  Moultrie,  in  1771,  the  Honorable  John 
Stuart,  Superintendent  of  Indian  Affairs,  was  elected 
President.  He  retained  the  office  until  the  war  of  the 
Revolution  interrupted  the  regular  meetings  of  the  Society. 
It  might  interest  the  antiquarian,  or  even  the  historian,  to 
make  mention  of  some  of  the  gentlemen  of  high  rank  and 
distinction  who,  from  its  origin  to  the  Revolution,  became 
members  of  the  Society,  but  such  notices  might  be  considered 
out  of  place  in  this  sketch.  The  sons  of  Dr.  John  Moultrie, 
the  President,  as  they  respectively  came  of  age,  seem  to 
have  joined  it.  His  eldest  son,  John  Moultrie,  afterwards 
Governor  of  Florida,  joined  it  in  1750,  and  his  second  son, 
William  Moultrie,  a native  Sou'h  Carolinian  of  an  honorable 
and  honored  Scottish  stock,  and  not  an  Englishman,  as 
has  sometimes  been  said,  joined  it  in  1758.  In  1757,  no 
fe-wer  than  sixty-nine  new  members  were  admitted.  In 
1759,  His  Excellency  William  Henry  Lyttleton,  Governor 
of  South  Carolina;  and  in  1763,  the  Rev.  Dr.  Alexander 
Hewat,  the  earliest  historian  of  South  Garolina,  became 
members.

HISTORY  OJt'  THE 


Though  the  Revolution  interrupted  the  regular  meetings 
of  the  Society,  it  never  was  dissolved.  The  members 
adhered  to  it.  The  archives  and  insignia,  though  for  a 
short  time  mislaid,  were  carefully  preserved.  The  funds 
had  in  a great  measure  been  expended,  as  they  had  been 
received,  on  the  benevolent  objects  for  which  they  had 
been  contributed,  and  when,  at  the  end  of  the  war,  they 
examined  the  amount  in  their  treasury,  they  found  it 
reduced  to  the  comparitively  small  sum  of  (£327  Is.)  three 
hundred  and  twenty-seven  pounds  one  shilling  sterling. 

On  Saint  Andrew’s  Day,  1787,  the  Society  elected  Gen. 
William  Moultrie,  President;  George  Roupell,  Vice- 
President;  Charles  Johnston,  Treasurer;  John  Troup, 
Assistant;  John  Moncrieffe,  Secretary;  and  admitted 
twenty-eight  new  members. 

From  1787  to  1790,  Gen.  Moultrie,  by  regular  re-elec- 
tions, continued  President,  with  some  annual  changes  in 
the  other  officers.  In  1790,  he  declined  a re-election,  and 
the  officers  elected  were : Dr.  Alexander  Baron,  President ; 
John  Troup,  Vice-President;  Adam  Tunno,  Treasurer; 
John  Moncrieffe,  Assistant;  Robert  Harvey,  Secretary. 

Dr.  Baron,  by  annual  re-elections,  continued  President 
until  his  death,  in  January,  1819.  Adam  Tunno,  the  First 
Vice-President,  was  then  chosen  President,  and,  by  regular 
re-election,  held  the  office  until  his  death,  in  December, 
1832. 

In  January,  1833,  Mitchell  King  was  elected  President 
for  the  remainder  of  the  year;  and  on  Saint  Andrew’s  Day, 
30th  November,  1833,  the  officers  elected  were : Mitchell 
King,  President;  William  Birnie,  First  Vice-President; 
Campbell  Douglas,  Second  Vice-President;  Alex  Gordon, 
Treasurer;  George  Brown,  Secretary. 

And  these  gentlemen,  by  re-election,  held  these  offices 
until  the  30  th  November,  1835,  when  Mitch  el  King  and 
Wm.  Birnie  declined  a re-election,  and  the  officers  elected 


st.  Andrew's  society.

were:  James  Robertson,  President;  Campbell  Douglas, 
First  Vice-President;  Dunbar  Paul,  Second  Vice-Presi- 
dent; Alex.  Gordon,  Treasurer ; George  Brown,  Secretary. 

James  Robertson  continued  President  until  Saint 
Andrew’s  Day,  1847,  when  he  declined  a re-election,  and 
the  officers  chosen  were:  Andrew  McDowall,  President; 
George  Brown,  First  Vice-President;  James  McLeish, 
Second  Vice-President;  Campbell  Douglass,  Treasurer; 
Alex.  Gordon,  Secretary. 

The  Rules  of  the  Society  adopted  and  ratified  in  1730, 
printed  and  published  in  London  in  1731,  and  reprinted 
in  Charleston  by  Bowen  & Co.  in  1788,  remained 
unchanged  until  1796  In  that  year  a highly  intelligent 
committee,  consisting  of  Alexander  Baron,  Alexander 
Chisholm,  Adam  Tunno,  John  Moncrieffe,  Alexander 
Shirras,  the  Rev.  Dr.  George  Buist,  Samuel  Wilson, 
Adam  Ewing,  William  Blacklock  and  John  Black,  was 
appointed  to  revise  the  Rules  of  the  Club,  and  to  apply  to 
the  Legislature  for  an  Act  of  Incorporation.  These  duties 
were  promptly  and  ably  executed  ; a revised  and  enlarged 
Code  of  Rules  was  prepared,  laid  before  the  Society,  and 
adopted.  The  Dame,  “The  Saint  Andrew’s  Club,  at 
Charlestown,  in  South  Carolina,”'  was  modified  to  “ The 
Saint  Andrew’s  Society,  of  Charleston,  in  South  Carolina.” 
the  office  of  Assistant  Treasurer  was  abolished,  some 
important  regulations  were  made  for  the  distribution  of 
the  Society’s  charity,  and  an  entire  section  containing  five 
elaborate  rules  for  the  organization  of  a school  to  be 
established  by  the  Society  was  added. 

In  1798  the  Legislature  passed  an  Act  incorporating 
the  Society  for  a limited  time ; within  that  time  extended 
the  Act,  and  finally,  in  1817,  repealed  the  limitation,  and 
granted  them  an  indefinite  incorporation. 

The  Society,  by  the  liberality  of  their  members,  were 
speedily  enabled  to  put  their  school  in  operation.  Few  or

HISTORY  OR  THE 


none  of  the  children  of  the  members’stood  in  need  of  this 
aid.  But  the  School  Committee,  erected  under  the  sixth 
section  of  the  new  rules,  found  numerous  deserving  objects 
of  this  best  of  charities.  It  is  believed  much  good 
was  done  by  it.  Amos  Pillsbury,  who  is  probably  remem- 
bered by  some  of  our  aged  citizens — Schoolmaster,  and 
for  many  years  Precentor  of  the  Presbyterian  Church, — 
was  the  last  teacher  employed  by  the  Society.  When  the 
State  free  school  system  was  inaugurated  in  1811,  it  was 
found  to  bo  amply  competent  to  provide  for  the  education 
of  all  the  class  of  scholars  that  were  under  the  care  of  the 
Society,  and  as  their  pupils  grew  up  and  left  the  school 
their  places  were  not  tilled,  and  the  funds  that  had  been 
appropriated  to  the  school  were  applied  to  the  other 
benevolent  objects  of  the  Society. 

In  May,  1811,  the  Society  resolved  to  build  themselves 
a Hall,  and  in  June  of  that  year  became  ownersyof  the  lot 
on  which  their  Hall  now  stands.  On  Saint  Andrew’s  Hay, 
1813,  they  appointed  a committee  of  five,  viz.:  John  Black, 
John  M.  Davis,  William  Blacklock,  George  Macaulay  and 
John  Gordon,  to  procure  plans  and  estimates  for  an  appro- 
priate building.  From  the  plans  offered  they  selected  one 
drawn  by  Hugh  Smith,  ah  amateur  architect,  a member 
of  the  Society.  A Building  Committee  of  nine,  viz.: 
Alexander  Baron,  President ; Hugh  Smith,  John  Black, 
John  M.  Davis,  Thomas  Walker,  Charles  Edmondston, 
Peter  Wyatr,  William  Birnie,  Dugald  Macfie,  were  desig- 
nated, with  full  powers  to  contract  for  the  erection  of  the 
building.  So  diligent  were  they  in  superintending  and 
hastening  the  execution  of  their  commission,  that  on  Saint 
Andrew’s  Day,  1815,  the  Society  transacted  their  usual 
business  of  that  day,  and  dined,  in  their  new  Hall;  and 
James  Ogilvie,  then  well  known  as  Ogilvie,  the  orator,  the 
son  of  the  Bev.  John  Ogilvie,  D.  D.,  of  Midmar,  Aberdeen- 
shire, delivered  to  them  an  eloquent  and  appropriate

address.  From  that  day  their  meetings  have  been 
regularly  kept  in  this  Hall.  It  has  been  the  scene  of 
much  social,  civic  and  intellectual  enjoyment.  It  has  been 
uniformly  used  for  the  meetings  and  entertainments  of  the 
South  Carolina  Jockey  Club,  an  association  embracing 
many  of  the  first  gentlemen  of  our  land.  It  has  been  the 
favorite  resort  of  the  Saint  Cecelia  Society.  Its  walls  have 
echoed  to  the  voice  of  Agassiz  and  of  many  eminent 
lecturers.  It  was  the  temporary  residence  of  His  Excel- 
lency James  Monroe,  President  of  the  United  States,  when, 
in  1817,  he  paid  a visit  to  the  South,  accompanied  by  our 
own  Calhoun,  and  many  other  distinguished  attendants. 
And  in  1825  it  was  occupied  by  the  gallant  and  noble 
La  Fayette  during  his  stay  in  Charleston  on  his  tour  in 
the  South,  when  he  travelled  through  our  land  with  more 
spontaneous,  heartfelt,  overflowing  honor,  than  ever  graced 
the  triumph  of  a Eoman  conqueror. 

At  the  procession,  formed  to  receive  La  Fayette,  the 
Saint  Andrew’s  Society,  as  the  oldest  in  the  State,  claimed 
the  precedence  of  the  other  societies.  That  post  was 
assigned  to  them.  Some  of  the  members  of  a sister 
association  of  the  city,  of  the  most  extensive  usefulness, 
and  of  the  highest  rank,  were  doubtful  of  the  right  of  the 
Saint  Andrew’s  Society  to  this  distinction,  and  the  South 
Carolina  Society  appointed  the  Honorable  Isaac  Edward 
Holmes,  Peter  Bacot  and  J.  A.  Yates,  a committee  to 
invite  the  Saint  Andrew’s  Society  to  a conference  on  this 
subject.  As  chairman  of  this  committee,  Mr.  Holmes,  on 
the  16th  of  August,  1826,  addressed  a note  to  the  Presi- 
dent of  the  Saint  Andrew’s  Society  in  these  words  : 

Adam  Tctnno,  Esq,.,  President  of  Saint  Andrew’s  Society  : 
lJear  Sir — It  having  been  brought  to  the  view  of  South 
Carolina  Society  by  its  honorable  President,  that  the 
Charter  of  Incorporation  of  that  Society  was  of  an  ante- 
rior date  to  that  of  Saint  Andrew’s,  and  it  being  a

question  whether  the  societies,  when  walking  in  procession, 
take  rank  according  to  the  date  of  their  charter,  or  the  age 
of  the  respective  societies,  a committee  was  appointed  on 
behalf  of  the  South  Carolina  Society,  consisting  of  I.  E. 
Holmes,  Peter  Bacot  and  J.  A.  Yates,  to  meet  such 
committee  as  may  be  appointed  from  Saint  Andrew’s 
Society,  to  confer  upon  the  subject,  and  to  prevent  any 
collision  between  Societies  so  ancient  and  respectable  as 
those  of  Saint  Andrew’s  and  the  South  Carolina.  In 
hopes,  Sir,  that  this  affair  may  be  settled  harmoniously, 
and  to  the  satisfaction  of  all  parties, 

I subscribe  myself, 

Your  obedient  servant, 

ISAAC  E.  HOLMES, 

Chairman  of  Committee  of  the  South  Carolina  Society. 

August  1G,  1826. 

On  the  31st  of  August,  the  next  meeting  of  the  Saint 
Andrew’s  Society,  the  President  laid  this  letter  before 
them,  and  Mitchell  King,  Charles  Edmondston  and  Wm. 
Birnie  were  appointed  a committee  to  confer  with  the 
committee  of  the  South  Carolina  Society.  The  committees 
met  and  submitted  to  each  other  their  respective  views 
and  claims,  and  the  evidence  on  which  they  were  founded. 
After  a very  careful  examination  and  consideration,  and 
the  fullest  discussion,  they  unanimously  concurred  in 
opinion,  and  agreed  on  a joint  report,  to  be  signed  by  both 
committees,  and  submitted  to  their  respective  Societies. 
This  report  is  in  these  words  : 

The  committees  of  the  Saint  Andrew’s  and  the  South 
Carolina  Societies,  that,  under  resolutions  of  their  respec- 
tive Societies,  met  in  conference  on  the  subject  of  the 
seniority  claimed  by  the  Saint  Andrew’s  Society,  respect- 
fully report:  That,  from  the  original  rules  and  documents 
of  the  Saint  Andrew’s  Society,  which  were  laid  before, 
and  carefully  examined  by  the  committees,  it  appears  that 
the  Siunt  Andrew’s  Society  was  founded  in  the  year  1729, 
under  the  name  of  the  Saint  Andrew’s  Club,  and  that  on 
the  30th  November,  1730,  the  fundamental  Pules  of  the 
Society  were  signed  by  a considerable  number  of  members. 


ST.  ANDREW  S SOCIETY. 


113 


In  these  Rules  the  Club  is  expressly  designated  a Society, 
and  the  members  associated  for  social  and  charitable 
purposes,  and  from  that  time  to  the  present  the  Society 
has  been  maintained  by  a constant  succession  of  members, 
and  never  has  been  in  any  manner  dissolved.  In  1788, 
the  Rules  adopted  and  signed  on  the  30th  November,  1730, 
were  printed  without  the  slightest  alteration  or  amendment, 
accompanied  by  a regular  list  of  the  members  annually 
admitted  from  its  origin,  taken  from  the  records  of  the 
Society.  It  is  then  still  called  the  Saint  Andrew’s  Club. 
Sometime  between  1788  and  1798,  the  word  Club  was 
changed  to'"  Society  in  the  name  by  which  it  is  designated, 
and  it  has  been  supposed  that  this  might  in  some  manner 
affect  the  present  inquiry.  But  the  change  was  merely 
the  substitution  of  a word  of  Latin  for  one  of  Saxon  origin, 
signifying,  in  the  present  case,  precisely  the  same  thing. 
And  by  this  substitution  not  the  slightest  change  was  made 
in  the  organization,  constitution,  or  objects  of  the  Society. 
It  continued  identically  the  same  Society.  It  is  admitted 
that  the  South  Carolina  Society  did  not  originate  until 
1737,  and,  looking  to  their  origin,  the  Saint  Andrew’s  is 
unquestionably  the  older  Society.  But  it  was  suggested 
that  the  South  Carolina  was  incorporated  before  the  Saint 
Andrew’s  Society,  and  that  this  point  might  make  a 
difference  in  the  commencement  of  their  legal  existence. 
An  Act  of  Incorporation  is  not  necessary  to  form  a society. 
Whenever  a number  of  individuals  associate  together,  and 
sign  rules  for  specific  legal  purposes,  by  which  they 
mutually  bind  themselves  to  each  other,  the  general  law 
of  the  land  acts  upon  and  sanctions  such  an  association, 
and  will  hold  the  members  bound  to  the  community,  as 
well  as  among  themselves,  by  the  acts  of  the  majority 
within  the  rules  of  the  association.  Tour  committees, 
therefore,  are  perfectly  satisfied,  and  so  report,  that  the 
Saint  Andrew’s  Society,  formerly  called  the  Saint  Andrew’s 
Club,  has  existed  in  uninterrupted  succession,  in  fact  and 
in  law,  from  its  first  association  in  1729,  and  especially 
from  the  signing  of  its  Rules  on  the  30th  November,  1730, 
to  the  present  day,  and  is  the  senior  of  the  South  Carolina 
Society. 

In  ascertaining  these  facts  and  forming  these  conclusions, 
there  has  existed  no  difference  of  opinion  between  the

committees,  and  as  a lasting  memorial  of  good  feeling  and 
mutual  respect  by  which  this  inquiry  has  been  conducted, 
and  to  set  the  matter  hereafter  at  rest,  they  have  unani- 
mously agreed  to  lay  this  joint  report  before  their  respective 
Societies. 

All  of  which  is  respectfully  submitted.

On  the  30th  September,  1826,  the  next  meeting  of  the 
Saint  Andrew’s  Society,  this  report  was  submitted  to  them, 
unanimously  adopted,  and  ordered  to  be  recorded  in  their 
minutes,  and  the  original  roll,  containing  the  Preamble 
and  Rules  signed  on  the  30th  of  November,  1730,  with  the 
autographic  names  of  the  members  from  that  time  to  1798. 
That  order  was  executed.  The  original  Roll  is  among  the 
archives  of  the  Society,  and  probably  contains  as  large  a 
collection  of  authentic  autographs  as  are  attached  to  any 
one  document  in  the  United  States. 

On  the  30th  of  November,  1829,  the  Society  celebrated, 
with  more  than  usual  ceremony  and  solemnity,  their 
Centennial  Anniversary.  They  assembled  at  their  Hall 
on  the  forenoon  of  that  day,  and  at  half-past  10,  under 
the  escort  of  the  Union  Light  Infantry,  they  walked  in 
procession  to  the  First  Presbyterian  Church.  A large 
audience  was  in  attendance.  The  Rev.  Arthur  Buist 
offered  an  earnest  prayer  to  the  Throne  of  Grace.  An 
appropriate  anthem,  written  for  the  occasion,  followed. 
An  address*  by  a member  was  then  delivered,  containing 
a brief  account  of  the  origin,  objects  and  history  of  the 
Society.  The  services  closed  with  another  anthem,  in 
which  nearly  all  the  audience  joined,  and  the  benediction.

ST.  ANDKEW'S  SOCIETY. 


115 


One  hundred  and  two  members  commemorated  that  day, 
signed  their  names  in  the  minutes,  and  sat  down  to  dinner 
with  a number  of  invited  guests.  By  no  one  who  partici- 
pated in  the  cordial  festivities,  the  high  feeling,  the 
generous  excitement  of  the  occasion,  can  it  ever  be 
forgotten. 

The  Roll  of  1730  and  the  Seal  of  the  Society  are  its 
chief  insignia.  On  every  anniversary  each  of  the  officers 
wears  a Saint  Andrew’s  Gross.  A huge  Snuff  Mull, 
ornamented  with  Cairngorms  mounted  in  silver,  with 
several  fanciful  appendages  believed  to  be  contemporary 
with  t]p.e  Society,  is  laid  on  the  table,  and  is  now  accompa- 
nied by  a magnificent  Cranium  and  Horns  of  a Ram 
transformed  into  a Snuff  Mull,  presented  to  the  Society  on 
the  Centennial  Anniversary  by  William  Birnie,  Second 
Vice-President. 

Pew  places  are  more  remarkable  in  old  Scottish  story 
than  the  Torwood.  Near  the  centre  of  that  Forrest  stood, 
for  many  centuries,  a gigantic  oak,  around  which  Sir 
William  Wallace  and  his  patriotic  companions  often  met 
to  take  counsel  together  against  the  ambitious  Edward  I. 
This  tree  is  alleged  to  have  been  twelve  feet  in  diameter, 
and  tradition  says  it  was  hollow  even  in  Wallace’s  time, 
and  sometimes  afforded  him  a safe  concealment  from  the 
pursuit  of  his  implacable  enemies.  It  became  known 
through  the  land  as  Wallace’s  tree,  and  by  that  name  it 
was  consecrated  in  the  heart  of  the  country.  Near  that 
tree  in  1680,  the  Rev.  Donald  Cargill  fulminated  his 
excommunication  against  the  profligate  Charles  II,  his 
brother  James,  and  some  of  their  unprincipled  advisers, 
and  the  present  by  a Scottish  nobleman  of  a box  made 
from  the  wood  of  that  tree  was  considered  a “distinguished 
honor”  by  Washington — the  Father  of  his  Country — the 
man  who  stands  without  a compeer  in  the  history  of  the 
world.  In  the  beginning  of  this  century  that  tree  fell. 


116 


HISTORY  OF  THE 


Relics  from  it  were  eagerly  sought  and  highly  prized. 
Alexander  Kirk,  a member  of  the  Society,  who  was  born 
near  the  site  of  that  tree,  presented,  about  1810,  a small 
block  of  it  to  the  Society  for  a President’s  Mallet,  and  the 
same  gentleman,  in  1821,  sent  us  a piece  from  the  tree 
which  shaded  the  Tomb  of  Washington,  to  form  a Handle 
to  that  Mallet.  That  Mallet — from  the  Oak  of  Wallace 
and  the  Cedar  of  Washington — is  very  precious  to  the 
Saint  Andrew’s  Society. 

A full  length  admirable  likeness  of  Queen  Victoria,  by 
that  distinguished  artist,  Thomas  Sully,  presented  by  him 
to  the  Society,  adorns  their  Hall ; and  around  its  w^lls  are 
striking  portraits  of  the  Presidents  of  the  Society  since  the 
Revolution,  whose  occupancy  of  the  chair  has  closed.

The  officers  of  the  Society  are  elected,  and  the  larger 
charities  of  the  Society  allotted  annually  on  Saint  Andrew’s 
Day.  These  larger  charities,  under  the  direction  and 
recommendation  of  a select  committee,  vary  in  amount 
according  to  the  desert  and  extent  of  the  respective  claims 
on  the  bounty  of  the  Society.  For  the  last  five  years  the 
appropriation  for  them  on  that  day  has  not  been  less  than 
$1480,  nor  more  than  $1710.  They  have  sometimes 
exceeded  the  largest  of  these  amounts.  The  committee 
charged  with  this  special  matter  are  authorized  during  the 
year  to  meet  such  contingent  claims  of  charity  as  come 
within  the  Eules,  and  report  to  the  Society  these  contin- 
gencies. No  well  founded  claim  is  ever  bidden  away. 

From  1829  to  the  present  day  no  change  or  event  worthy 
of  being  here  recorded  has  taken  place  in  the  organization, 
objects  or  course  of  the  Society.  They  have  pursued  the 
even  tenor  of  their  way.  They  have  been  guided  by  the 
experience  and  example  of  their  founders.  They  cherish 
and  venerate  the  sacred  principles  of  brotherly  kindness 
and  charity  consecrated  in  and  forming  the  life  of  their 
Society,  and  they  will  strive  to  transmit  these  principles 
in  all  their  purity  and  power  to  their  latest  successors. 

Mr.  McDowall,  since  his  election  in  1847,  has  been 
annually  re-elected.  The  gentlemen  now  in  office,  chosen 
the  80th  of  November  last,*  are : Andrew  McDowall, 
President;  Eobert  Mure,  First  Vice-President;  A.  F. 
Wilmans,  Second  Vice-President;  John  McKeDzie,  Treas- 
urer; D.  Morton,  Secretary.

HISTORY  OF  THE 


The  officers  aforenamed  were  re-elected  November  30, 
1858. 

On  25th  January,  1859,  the  Centennial  Anniversary  of  the 
birth  of  Robert  Burns  was  celebrated,  under  the  auspices 
of  the  Society,  when  an  admirable  address  was  delivered 
in  St.  Andrews’  Hall,  by  Mr.  David  Ramsay,  a member  of 
the  Society,  and  a banquet  given  in  the  evening.* 

At  the  130th  Anniversary,  30th  November,  1859,  the  fol- 
lowing officers  were  elected  : Robert  Mure,  President; 

Alexander  Gordon,  First  Vice-President ; A.  F.  Wilmans, 
Second  Vice-President ; John  McKenzie,  Treasurer  ; R.  A. 
Young,  Secretary — all  of  whom  were  re-elected  in  1860, 
excepting  the  Secretary,  who  declined,  and  A.  Macaulay 
elected  to  that  office. 

In  December,  1860,  the  South  Carolina  Convention  held 
their  meetings  in  St.  Andrews’  Hall,  and  on  the  20th  of 
that  month  the  Ordinance  of  Secession  was  there  passed. 

At  the  132d,  Anniversary,  -30th  November,  1861,  the 
following  officers  were  elected  : Robert  Mure,  Presi- 

dent; Alexander  Gordon,  First  Vice-President;  A.  F. 
Wilmans,  Second  Vice-President ; Douglas  Nisbet,  Treas- 
urer ; A.  Macaulay,  Secretary. 

On  the  night  of  11th  December,  1861,  St.  Andrews’  Hall 
was  destroyed  by  fire,  together  with  the  furniture  &c.,  but 
the  Paintings,  Snuff  Mulls,  Secession  Mallet,  and  Records 
of  the  Society,  were  saved  by  the  exertions  of  some  of  the 
members.  The  Paintings  were  afterwards  sent  to  Colum- 
bia for  safe  keeping,  and  lost  in  the  sacking  of  that 
city,  by  the  Federal  Army,  under  Sherman,  in  February, 
1865.  The  Snuff  Mulls,  Secession  Mallet,  and  “Strong 
Box,”  containing  Records,  &c.,  were  saved  by  a member, 
and  are  now  in  possession  of  the  Society.

The  South  Carolina  Society,  having,  with  great  kind- 
ness, tendered  the  use  of  their  Hall,  the  meetings  of  the 
Society  were  held  there,  until  rendered  untenable  by  the 
shelling  of  the  city,  and  the  134th  Anniversary,  30th 
November,  1863,  was  held  at  the  house  of  Mr.  Weinges, 
in  Thomas  Street. 

Throughout  the  war,  the  Society  continued  to  meet  and 
dispense  charity,  though  the  meetings  were  often  interupt- 
ed  and  thinly  attended,  in  consequence  of  the  necessary 
absence  of  many  of  the  members. 

The  last  named  officers  continued  in  office  until  the  136th 
Anniversary,  30th  November,  1865,  when  the  following 
were  elected  : Robert  Mure,  President ; Thomas  J.  Kerr, 

First  Vice-President ; A.  Cameron,  Second  Vice-President ; 
Douglas  Nisbet,  Treasurer ; William  Paul,  Secretary. 

On  30th  November,  1866,  these  officers  were  re-elected, 
and  Mr.  William  Wood,  President  of  the  St.  Andrews’ 
Society,  of  New  York,  elected  an  honorary  member. 

The  following  officers  were  elected  on  30th  November, 
1867  : Robert  Mure,  President;  Thomas  J.  Kerr,  First 

Vice-President ; Douglas  Nisbet,  Second  Vice-President ; 
John  R.  Moffat,  Treasurer ; William  Paul,  Secretary,  who 
have  been  annually  re-elected,  excepting  the  Treasurer  and 
Secretary.  The  following  are  the  present  officers  : 

ROBERT  MURE,  President. 

THOMAS  J.  KERR,  First  Vice-President. 

DOUGLAS  NISBET,  Second  Vice-President. 

CAMPBELL  DOUGLAS,  Treasurer. 

ROBERT  M.  GORDON,  Secretary.

The  report  made  by  President  Chisolm  was 
a most  interesting  one.  Heshowed  that  the  So-

It  bad  been  in  a score  of  years,  being,  in  fact, 
Iree  from  all  debt,  and  having  a large  balance 
to  its  credit.  He  suggested  that  this  money, 
should  be  expended  in  the  erection  of  a hand- 
some club  house  for  the  Society.  The  report, 
which  was  made  public  yesterday,  is  as  fol-

The  Agricultural  Society  of  South  Caro- 
. etna  celebrated  its  seventy-sixth  anniversary 
on  Thursday  evening  last.  The  committee  on 
horticultural^  garden  and  pleasure  grounds 
made  their  report,  suggesting  that  a commit- 
tee be  appointed  to  purchase  a sight  for  the 
purpose  of  laying  out  a garden  and  pleasure 
ground  for  the  use  of  the  members.  The  re- 
port was  adopted,  and  a committee  was  ap- 
pointed to  carry  out  its  suggestions. 

The  report  of  Mr.  T.  H.  Jacques,  chairman 
of  the  committee  appointed  to  inquire  into  the 
practicability  of  having  the  cotton  tax  refund- 
ed, was  read  and  adopted,  and  a committee 
was  appointed  to  take  action  in  the  matter. 
The  report  will  be  published  in  full  at  an  early 
period. 

Resolutions  were  offered  by  Mr.  Winborn 
Lawton  showing  the  necessity  of  co-operation 
among  the  farmers  of  the  South  with  any  un- 
dertaking calculated  to  advance  their  material 
prosperity,  and  suggesting  the  importance  of 
a diversity  of  crops,  showing  the  error  of  de- 
voting the  entire  crop  to  the  production  of 
cotton.  Also,  urging  the  introduction  of  im- 
proved spinning  machinery  upon  the  Southern 
! cotton  farms,  and  suggesting  that  a stock  com- 
pany be  formed  for  the  purpose  of  establishing 
a stock  farm  near  the  city.  The  resolutions 
were  adopted. 

Resolutions  were  also  adopted  suggesting 
that  the  members  experiment  with  the  differ- 
ent qualities  and  quantities  of  manure  upon 
one  acre  of  land,  and  report  the  results  at  the 
next  annual  meeting.  The  report  of  the  ex- 
ecutive committee  was  received.  It  shows 
that  the  condition  of  the  society,-  both  as  to  re- 
sources and  membership,  is  very  encouraging, 
and  that  the  good  achieved  during  the  past 
year  has  been  great,  and  is  calculated  to  place 
it  in  the  most  favorable  position  before  the 
community. 

The  following  officers  were  elected  to  serve 
for  the  ensuing  year  : Dr.  A.  B.  Rose,  presi- 
dent; Col.  Wm.  L.  Trenholm,  Maj.  W.  G.  Var- 
dell,  E.  W.  Clarke,  C.  A.  Chisolm  and  George 
H.  Moffett,  vice-presidents;  S.  P.  Ravenel, 
corresponding  secretary;  A.  Barron  Holmes, 
secretary  and  treasurer.  Executive  Commit- 
tee— J.  T.  Dill,  H.  P.  Horlbeck,  S.  Holmes,  Jr., 
E.  L.  Roche,  K.  P.  Ravenel,  A.  Barron  Holmes, 
James  Price,  H.  W.  Kinsman,  B.  G.  Pinckney, 
Dr.  R.  Lebby,  Jr.,  W.  G.  Hinson,  Wm.  Bird, 
J.  G.  Holmes,  Jr.,  and  J.  A.  Atkinson.  When 
the  business  of  the  evening  was  concluded  the 
members  adjourned  and  partook  of  the  usual 
supper.

SOUTH  CAROLINA  SOCIETY,  May  1,  §B7Q. 


The  arrangement  of  the  Rules  of  the  SOUTH  CAROLINA 
SOCIETY,  as  heretofore  in  use,  having  been  found  incon- 
venient and  difficult  of  reference,  a Committee  of  the  Society 
were  instructed  to  re-arrange  them  in  a more  convenient 
form. 

The  present  form,  which  without  altering  the  substance  of 
the  Rules  brings  each  subject  under  its  appropriate  head, 
was  submitted  to  the  Society,  approved,  and  ordered  to  be 
printed  for  its  future  government. 

This  is  the  eleventh  edition  of  the  Rules  since  the  first 
oi’ganization  of  the  Society  in  1737.  It  contains  all  amend- 
ments and  alterations  which  have  been  made  since  the  last 
edition  of  1852,  also  a list  of  officers  elected  from  1853  to 
1870  inclusive,  schedules  of  the  Society’s  property  in  1860  and 
1870,  and  a full  list  of  members  from  the  commencement  of 
the  Society  to  date.

The  Society  shall  be  called  the  South  Carolina

forthwith  elect  as  many  persons  wishing  to  become 
members,  as  they  may  judge  proper,  who  shall  be 
admitted  without  paying  any  admission  money;  and 
in  default  of  such  election  for  two  months,  the  Judges 
of  the  Courts  of  Common  Pleas  and  of  Equity  shall 
be  considered  as  members  on  the  like  terms,  who, 
with  the  other  members,  shall  have  the  management 
and  improvement  of  the  funds,  and  are  hereby  em- 
powered to  appropriate  the  interest  and  income 
thereof  to  the  charitable  uses  and  purposes  set  forth

6 


like  manner  of  so  muck  of  the  second  section  of  second 
Rule  as  provides  for  the  exclusion  of  members  whose 
arrears  are  unpaid.  The  Society  shall  also  meet  at 
other  times  on  the  second  Tuesday  of  every  month, 
and  sit  only  from  six  to  nine  o’clock  from  October  to 
March,  inclusive,  and  between  seven  and  ten  o’clock 
from  April  to  September,  inclusive.  Should  the  Hall 
of  the  Society  be  destroyed  by  fire  or  other  accident, 
they  may  be  called  together  by  the  Steward,  at  some 
convenient  place  in  Charleston;  but  such  place  of 
meeting  may  be  changed  by  the  determination  of  the 
members,  who  may  then  or  thereafter  be  so  assem- 
bled. The  Society  shall  dine  together  at  the  anni- 
versary meeting  only;  and  it  shall  be  the  duty  of  the 
Steward,  at  least  one  month  before  that  meeting,  to 
appoint  a committee  of  five  to  provide  a dinner  for 
the  members,  the  expense  of  which  shall  be  paid 
from  the  general  fund  of  the  Society. 

Section  3. — Quorum. 

A quorum  of  the  Society  shall  consist  of  nine  mem- 
bers for  all  business  except  to  alter  the  Rules,  in 
which  case  a quorum  shall  consist  of  fifteen  members. 

Section  4. — Seal. 

The  Seal  of  the  Society,  the  device  on  which  shall 
be  a hand  planting  a vine,  with  the  motto  “Poste- 
ritati,”  shall  be  kept  by  the  Treasurer. 

RULE  II. 

Members.  Section  1. — Admission. 

No  person  shall  be  admitted  a member  of  this 
Society  unless  he  be  a citizen  of  South  Carolina,  of 
lawful  age,  and  shall  have  been,  for  two  years,  a 
resident  in  this  State.  Candidates  for  admission 


shall  apply  by  letter  addressed  to  the  Steward , 
Wardens  and  Members  of  the  South  Carolina  Society. 
All  applications  for  membership  shall  be  read  on 
the  second  Tuesday  of  the  month,  and  on  the  second 
Tuesday  of  the  following  month  the  candidate  shall 
be  ballotted  for.  If  four-fifths  of  the  members  pre- 
sent vote  for  a candidate,  he  shall  be  declared  duly 
elected,  and,  on  paying  his  admission  money  and 
subscribing  the  Rules  at  a meeting  of  the  Society, 
shall  be  considered  a member.  Any  person  elected 
a member  of  this  Society,  who  refuses  or  neglects  to 
sign  the  Rules  and  pay  his  admission  money  for 
three  months  after  his  election,  shall  forfeit  the  bene- 
fit of  such  election.  No  person  rejected  can  apply 
again  for  admission,  until  after  twelve  months;  on  a 
second  rejection  of  such  person,  no  further  applica- 
tion from  him  shall  be  considered  or  acted  upon. 

Section  A — Admission  Fee  and  Annual 
Arrears. 

Every  person  shall,  on  his  admission,  pa 
dollars — unless  he  be  the  son  of  a living  member,  or 
of  a deceased  member  who  was  a member  at  the 
time  of  his  death:  in  either  of  which  cases,  such  son 
of  a living,  or  deceased  member  shall  pay  ten  dol- 
lars: Provided , the  contributions  of  his  father  shall 
have  been  paid  up  for  the  full  term  of  seven  years, 
either  as  they  became  payable  or  in  advance.  At 
every  annual  meeting  every  member  shall  contribute 
/ to  the  funds dollars. 

If  any  member  shall  neglect  to  pay  up  his  arrears 
on  the  anniversary,  his  name  and  the  sum  due  by 
him  shall  be  publicly  read  by  the  Clerk  on  the  three 
subsequent  regular  meetings  after  said  anniversary; 
and  if  his  arrears  be  not  fully  paid  by  the  third 
reading,  he  shall  be  excluded  the  Society.  But  such 
excluded  member,  upon  paying  all  arrears  due  and 


8 


the  usual  contributions  payable  during  his  exclusion, 
may  apply  for  admission  agreeably  to  the  first  sec- 
tion of  this  Rule:  Provided , nevertheless , that  upon 
an  election  in  such  case,  the  usual  admission  money 
shall  not  be  required;  and,  provided , also,  that  in 
case  of  non-election,  the  arrears  and  contributions, 
paid  by  the  applicant  from  the  time  of  his  exclusion 
to  entitle  him  to  an  application  for  re-admission, 
shall  be  returned.  Any  person  who  shall  have 
resigned  his  right  of  membership,  may  apply  for  re- 
admission, and  if  elected  by  four-fifths  of  the  mem- 
bers present,  shall,  on  paying  the  admission  money 
and  signing  the  Rules,  be  regarded  as  a newly  ad- 
mitted member. 

On  the  death  of  a member  (not  having  been  such 
for  seven  years),'  if  any  person  for  him  shall  pay  in 
advance,  or  at  the  regular  periods,  according  to  the 
Rule,  the  stated  contributions  for  the  full  term  of 
seven  years  from  the  time  of  his  admission,  his 
widow  and  children  shall,  after  the  expiration  of  the 
said  term,  and  not  before,  be  entitled  to  the  same 
benefits  and  privileges  as  if  he  had  been  a member 
for  seven  years. 

Section.  3. Life  Members. 

Every  member  of  this  Society  having  been  such 
for  fifty  years,  shall  be  enrolled  a Life  Member,  and 
be  entitled  to  all  the  rights  and  privileges  of  other 
members,  and  thereafter  be  excused  from  the  pay- 
ment of  arrears. 

Section  4. Member  not  to  be  Debtor. 

No  member  of  this  Society  shall  be  allowed  to 
give  his  own  bond,  note,  or  other  obligation,  either 
as  principal  or  surety,  for  any  property  that  may  be 
purchased  from  the  Society,  nor  shall  any  bond, 
note,  or  other  obligation,  be  received  in  payment,  to 


9 


which  the  name  of  any  member  is  signed,  either  as

acceptor.

Officers.  Section  1. — Elections. 

A Steward,  Senior  and  Junior  Warden,  Treasurer, 
Clerk,  two  Constables,  and  a Committee  consisting 
of  seven  members,  to  be  called  the  Committee  on 
Charity,  shall  be  annually  elected  on  Tuesday  in 
Easter-week,  all  of  whom  must  be  residents  of  the 
Parishes  of  St.  Philip  and  St.  Michael.  The  poll  shall 
be  opened  in  the  Hall  of  the  Society,  at  one  o’clock 
p.m.,  and  closed  at  three  o’clock  p.m.,  when  the  re- 
sult of  such  election  shall  be  reported  to  the  Steward, 
or  other  presiding  officer.  Every  member  chosen 
and  refusing  or  neglecting  to  serve,  except  on  a 
re-election,  shall  forfeit  Jive  dollars , and  another  be 
forthwith  elected  in  his  stead,  who  shall  be  liable  to 
a like  forfeiture  on  refusing  or  neglecting  to  perform 
the  duties  of  his  appointment.  In  case  of  the  death, 
resignation,  dismission  or  removal  from  the  Parishes 
of  St.  Philip  and  St.  Michael , of  any  officer,  another 
shall  be  elected  at  the  next  meeting,  after  ten  days’ 
notice  in  two  of  the  gazettes  of  the  city. 

No  officer  shall  be  considered  duly  elected  who 
shall  not  have  a majority  of  the  votes  of  the  mem- 
bers present. 

Section  9.— Steward  and  Wardens. 

The  Steward  shall  preside  at  all  meetings,  and 
preserve  due  order  and  decorum.  On  every  anni- 
versary he  shall  appoint  two  Committees,  one  to 
consist  of  seven  members  and  be  called  the  Commit- 
tee on  Accounts;  the  other  to  consist  of  five  mem- 
bers and  be  called  the  Committee  on  Repairs.  He 


10 


shall  also  appoint  such  other  Committees  as  may  be 
necessary,  propose  all  questions  for  debate,  and  de- 
clare the  result.  He  shall  sign  all  orders  for  the 
payment  of  money,  which  orders  shall  be  counter- 
signed bv  the  Clerk.  It  shall  also  be  the  duty  of 
the  Steward,  or  other  presiding  officer,  at  the  meeting 
immediately  preceding  the  anniyersary,  to  appoint 
three  members  to  conduct  the  election  of  officers; 
and  generally  to  discharge  all  such  further  duties 
as  shall  be  assigned  him  by  the  Society. 

If  the  Steward  and  both  Wardens  be  absent  one 
hour  from  a monthly,  or  two  hours  from  an  annual 
or  general  meeting,  some  member  present  shall  be 
elected  to  preside;  who,  on  taking  the  chair,  shall 
for  that  meeting  be  invested  with  the  powers  dele- 
gated to  the  Steward:  but  should  such  member  re- 
fuse to  act,  he  shall  forfeit  two  dollars,  and  another 
be  chosen,  liable,  on  refusal,  to  a like  forfeiture. 

The  Senior  Warden  shall  sit  on  the  right  of  the 
Steward,  and  the  Junior  Warden  on  the  left.  In 
the  absence  of  the  Steward,  the  Senior  Warden  shall 
preside;  and  in  the  absence  of  the  Steward  and 
Senior  Warden,  the  Junior  Warden  shall  preside. 

If  any  member  shall  die  in  such  low  circumstances 
that  the  expenses  of  his  interment  cannot  be  defray- 
ed from  his  own  estate,  the  Steward  and  Wardens 
shall  have  power  to  order,  at  the  expense  of  the 
Society,  whatever  may  be  necessary  for  his  funeral, 
in  a frugal  and  decent  manner. 

If  at  any  time,  during  the  continuance  in  office  of 
the  present  or  any  future  Treasurer,  it  shall  appear 
to  the  Steward  and  Wardens,  that  the  personal 
security  given  by  such  officer  shall  have  become 
insufficient — then,  and  in  that  case,  it  shall  be  their 
duty  to  require  other  and  further  security,  and  on 
his  refusal  or  neglect  to  give  the  same,  to  report  to 
the  Society,  who  shall,  at  their  discretion,  displace 


11 


such  officer,  should  he  continue  to  refuse  or  neglect 
to  give  such  security.  It  shall  be  the  duty  of  the 
Steward  to  keep  the  said  bonds;  having  first  record- 
ed them  in  the  office  of  the  Secretary  of  State,  within 
eight  days  from  their  date. 

It  shall  be  the  duty  of  the  Steward  and  Wardens 
to  let  such  parts  of  the  Society’s  Hall  and  premises 
as  shall  not  have  been  assigned  to  the  keeper  of  the 
Hall  as  a residence,  in  such  manner  and  on  such 
terms,  and  to  such  person  or  persons,  and  for  such 
uses,  as  they  may  deem  most  conducive  to  the  inter- 
ests of  the  Society. 

Section  3. — Treasurer. 

The  Treasurer  shall  take  charge  of  the  cash, 
plate,  bonds,  mortgages  and  other  securities,  the 
rules,  seal,  books,  papers  and  accounts  (all  of  which 
shall  be  first  inspected  by  him  and  the  Committee  on 
Accounts),  and  two  exact  schedules  of  the  same  shall 
be  made  out;  one  of  which,  signed  by  the  Steward, 
shall  be  delivered  to  the  Treasurer  and  copied  into 
the  Journal  of  the  Clerk,  and  the  other,  signed  by

tion to  make,  shall  rise  and  address  himself  to  the 
Steward  or  presiding  officer,  and  shall  not  be  inter- 
rupted while  speaking:  if  he  be  seconded,  the  same 
shall  be  taken  into  consideration.  When  two  or 
more  members  rise  together,  the  presiding  officer 
shall  determine  who  is  to  proceed,  and  call  to  order 
such  as  may  wander  from  the  point.  No  member 
shall  speak  oftener  than  twice  on  any  subject  in  de- 
bate, without  having  previously  obtained  the  per- 
mission of  the  Society.  Every  question  of  order 
shall  be  decided  by  the  presiding  officer  without  de- 
bate; but  his  decision  may,  for  causes  assigned,  be 
controlled  by  the  Society.  If  there  be  a doubt  on 
his  mind,  he  may  call  for  the  sense  of  the  Society. 
All  motions  shall  be  reduced  to  writing,  and  read  as 
often  as  any  member  may  desire  it.  The  yeas  and 
nays  on  any  question  shall  be  taken,  when  demand- 
ed by  five  members.  Whilst  a question  is  pending, 
no  motion  shall  be  received,  unless* for  amendment, 
the  previous  question,  to  postpone,  to  lie  on  the 
table,  to  commit,  or  to  adjourn.  On  an  amendment 
being  submitted,  a member  who  has  spoken  may 
speak  again  on  the  proposed  amendment.  A motion 
for  adjournment  shall  not  be  put  whilst  the  Society 
is  engaged  in  voting;  on  all  other  occasions,  such 


24 


motion  is  in  order,  and  shall  be  decided  without  de- 
bate. All  propositions,  debates  or  measures,  not 
herein  before  provided  for,  shall  be  subjected  to  the 
rules  which  obtain  in  legislative  assemblies.  There 
shall  be  no  controversy  or  discussion  on  matters  of 
religion  or  government;  whoever  persists,  after  due 
admonition,  shall  be  deemed  guilty  of  misbehavior, 
and  may  be  fined  in  sum  not  exceeding^/rre  dollars. 
When  the  presiding  officer  shall  call  to  order,  or  re- 
quire the  members  to  take  their  seats,  every  mem- 
ber who  shall  refuse  to  compty  therewith  shall  be 
liable  to  vote  of  censure  from  the  Society.  A mem- 
ber who  shall  behave  himself  in  an  improper  or  dis- 
orderly manner,  shall  pay  a sum  not  exceeding  ten 
dollars , and  may,  by  a vote  of  the  Society,  be  order- 
ed to  retire,  and  shall  not  resume  his  seat  in  the 
Society,  until  the  fine  imposed  be  paid. 

Section  3. — Alteration  of  Rules. 

When  it  may  be  found  expedient  to  alter,  amend, 
or  adopt  any  Rule,  the  proposition  shall  be  handed 
up,  in  writing,  to  the  presiding  officer,  and  a com- 
mittee of  not  less  than  five  members  shall  take  the 
same  into  consideration,  and  report  thereon:  their 
report  shall  then  be  read  and  ordered  for  considera- 
tion at  the  next  meeting,  of  which  public  notice  shall 
be  given  in  two  or  more  of  the  gazettes;  and  if,  at 
the  second  reading,  a majority  concur  therein,  it 
shall  pass  to  a third  reading,  when  it  may  be  further 
altered  or  amended.  None  of  the  present  Rules 
shall  be  altered,  or  any  new  Rule  adopted,  without 
the  concurrence  of  two-thirds  of  the  members  pre- 
sent at  the  third  reading;  and  the  final  vote  upon 
each  alteration  shall  be  taken  by  yeas  and  nays, 
which,  if  required  by  five  members,  shall  be  record- 
ed by  the  Clerk  upon  the  minutes.  No  resolution 
proposing  to  modify  or  alter  any  existing  resolution 


25 


of  the  Society,  shall  be  considered  or  definitely  acted 
on  at  the  same  meeting  at  which  such  resolution 
shall  be  proposed,  but  the  same  shall  lie  over  for 
consideration  and  decision  until  the  next  regular 
meeting.

eary  met  ting  of  the  South  Carolina  Society 
was  heid  at  its  hall  yesterday.  The  reports  of 
the  various  officers  were  read,  officers  were 
elected  for  the  ensuing  year,  and  at  4 o’clock 
an  elegant  dinner  vva«  served  to  over  a hundred 
mtmbtrs.  The  result  of  the  election  war  as 
fellows : 

Howard,  A.  M.  Lee,  succeeding  Dr  W.  H. 
Prioleeu,  who  declined  re  election. 

Senior  Warden,  Julius  A.  Blake. 

Junior  Warden  John  M.  Kinioch.

The  condition  of  the  Society  and  its  pros- 
pects weie  shown  to  be  most  encouraging,  the 
roll  of  active  members  exceeding  one  hundred 
and  there  being  no  diminution  in  the  extent  of 
its  charities. 

A very  pleasing  incident  of  this  annual 
meeting  was  the  unanimous  election  or  Mr 
Evan  Edwards  as  a life  member,  In  considera- 
tion ol  that  gentleman’s  membership  for  forty 
years  aDd  services  as  treasurer  for  twenty 
years.  This  is  a graceful  compliment  which 
this  ancient  and  honorable  Society  seldom 
psys,  and  only  for  conspicuous  and  valuable 
services. 

Od  the  centre  table  in  the  ante  room  was  a 
huge  volume  in  elephant  folio  belonging  to  tne 
hi  Andrew’s  Society,  probably  the  oldest 
organization  of  the  kind  iu  the  Soutb.  It  wsa 
&d  cbject  of  much  interest  to  tha  members  of 
the  tenth  Carolina  Sc  iety,  the  younger

PORTRAITS  OF  TPIE  STEWARDS. 


South  Carolina  Society  Is  Making  An 
Interesting  Collection. 


Three  handsome  oil  portraits  of  for- 
mer stewards  of  the  South  Carolina 
Society  will  be  hung  on  the  walls  of 
the  society  hall  tomorrow  evening. 

The  portraits  are  of  Edward  Neufville, 
steward  in  1762;  Elisha  Poinsett,  stew- 
ard 1792-1802,  j^nd  Joseph  Johnson,  M. 
D.,  steward  1840-1862. 

Some  time  ago  the  South  Carolina 
Society  decided  to  have  paintings 
made  of  all  the  old  stewards  of  the 
society  whose  portraits  could  be  se- 
cured and  so  tar  they  have  secured 
three.  There  are  some  Avho  were 
stewards  further  back  than  1762,  but 
as  yet  the  society  have  not  been  able 
to  obtain  portraits  of  these,  though  ef- 
forts 'to  that  e&d  are  being  made.  The 
three  portraits  that  will  be  hung  to- 
morrow evening  were  done  by  Prof. 
Stolle  of  Charleston  and  are  fine  pieces 
of  work.

NOTE. — The  result  of  the  late  war  left  many  members  without  the  means 
of  meeting  their  indebtedness  to  the  Society,  and  they  were  excluded  under 
the  operation  of  the  second  section  of  the  second  Rule.  But  the  same  Rule 
provides  that  such  excluded  members  may,  on  paying  the  arrears  due,  and 
the  usual  contributions  payable  during  their  exclusion,  apply  for  re-admis- 
sion, and,  if  elected,  be  admitted  without  the  payment  of  the  usual  admission 
fee.

All  Officers  rveve  lie-elected  to  Serve  ©tir- 
ing the  Ensuing  Year — A Pleasant  Iian- 
qnet. 

The  one  hundred  and  fifty-ninth  anni- 
versary meeting  of  the  South  Carolina  So- 
ciety was  held  at  South  Carolina  Hall, 
Meeting  street,  at  2 o'clock  yesterday. 
The  meeting  was  largely  attended  and  a 
great  amount  of  business  disposed  of. 
The  election  for  officers  resulted  in  the 
re-election  of  the  entire  board,  as  follows: 
A.  Markly  Lee,  steward. 

Julius  A.  Blake,  senior  warden. 

John  M.  Kinloch,  junior  warden. 

W.  H.  Prioleau.  treasurer. 

W.  H.  Porter,  clerk. 

E.  H.  Schirmer,  hallkeeper. 

T.  P.  Lowndes,  E.  P.  Guerard,  consta-

Porter,  D.  B.  Gilliland,  W.  E.  Stoney,  \Y. 
G.  Mazyck. 

The  anniversary  dinner  was  served  in 
the  Society’s  hall  at  7 P.  M.,  and  was,  as 
always,  a most  enjoyable  occasion.  At 
this  feast  there  are  no  set  speeches.  Not 
one  of  the  diners  need  slight  the  good 
things  set  before  him  or  anxiously  await 
his  call  to  make  a long  harangue  upon 
subjects  many  times  exhausted.  Every- 
thing is  informal  and  it  more  resembles 
a big  family  dinner  party  than  aught  else 
and  is  just  as  delightful.

SUIF  SOCIETY. 


This  Ancient  and  Honorable  Organization 
Celebrates  its  One  Hundred  ai  d Tbirty- 
lil'tli  Anniversary  with  Feasting  and 
Ora  tory. 

Just  as  jolly,  as  jovial  and  as  big-hearted 
a set  of  men  as  exists  anywhere  in  this 
good  old  world  assembled  in  the  banquet 
hall  of  the  Masonic  Temple  last  night  to 
celebrate  the  one  hundred  and  thirty-fifth 
anniversary  of  the  Fellowship  Society. 

. The  name  should  have  been  made  Good 
Fellowship  Society,  for  there  is  not  a mem- 
ber of  the  good  old  organization  who  does 
not  appreciate  the  good  things  of  this 
, Tfo  and  who  does  not  appreciate  the  vir- 
; tues  only  of  his  neighbor.  The  banquet 
last  night  was  verily  as  cheerful,  as  de- 
lightful and  as  royal  a repgst 
of  reason  and  of  substantial  as 
any  epicure  of  both  could  desire.  Once 


every  year  the  members  of  Fellowship 
gather  around  the  festive  boa  rd  and  thank 
the  Almighty  that  they  still 'dive  on  this 
globe  and  that  they  still  ljoy  all  tire 
good  things  put  upon  it,  an  in.  their  grati- 
tude they  bury  the  past  hey  scorn  (he 
future  and  pitch  head  over  heels  into  the 
present,  and  the  good  things  before  them. 

The  banquet  last  night  was  all  that  tire 
heart  or  mind  or  appetite  of  man  could 
desire.  What  was  good  to  drink  was 
drunk;  what  was  good  to  eat  is  here  given

INTRODUCTION. 


The  reputation  that  the  German  Friendly  Society  has 
attained  in  this  community,  and  the  prosperity  to  which 
it  has  advanced,  although  retarded  by  many  fortuitous 
circumstances,  naturally  lead  the  minds  of  those  interest- 
ed in  its  welfare  and  existence,  to  inquire  into  its  origin, 
and  mark  the  progress  of  it  from  infancy  to  maturity. 

Previously  to  the  year  1766,  a number  of  Germans,  at 
different  periods,  emigrated  to  Charleston,  with  a view  of 
making  permanent  settlements,  and  seeking,  in  a new 
country,  that  repose  which  the  petty  principalities  of 
then.'  own  had  denied  them.  It  became  natural  that  those 
who  were  actuated  by  the  same  motives  in  emigrating, 
should  have  engendered  in  their  bosoms  the  same  com- 
munity of  sentiment  and  feeling,  and  that,  being  strang- 
ers to  the  language  of  the  place,  they  should  associate 
exclusively  amongst  themselves,  and  indulge  in  all  the 
habits  and  manners  to  which  they  were  accustomed. 
There  is  a peculiarly  sociable  disposition  in  the  German 
character,  adapting  itself  as  occasion  may  offer,  either  to 
hilarity  or  solemnity;  but,  under  all  circumstances,  ad- 
hering to  an-  inflexibility  in  the  cause  of  friendship  that 
cannot  be  easily  relaxed.  Their  great  industry  and  punc- 
tuality insured  them  the  means  of  extending  their  hands 
to  the  weak  and  unfortunate,  and  their  acuteness  always 
enabled  them  to  make  their  charity  efficient. 

, It  was  at  the  various  meetings  that  the  founders  of 
this  Society  held  for  the  purposes  of  recreation,  that  their 
conversations  would  turn  upon  their  own  country.  That 
their  “ Vaterland  ” should  be  the  theme  nearest  their  hearts ; 
that  with  all  its  defects  they  should  still  love  it;  he  who 
has  wandered  in  a foreign  land  and  recals  to  his  mind 
the  delightful  home  he  has  left,  can  readily  conceive.  It 
2

became  natural,  therefore,  that  their  own  countrymen 
should  be  selected  above  all,  to  engross  their  attention; 
not  so  much  by  the  immediate  dispensation  of  money  to 
them,  but  by  placing  at  their  disposal  the  means  of  ex- 
erting the  industrious  habits  formed  in  early  life.  In 
this  way,  numerous  mechanics  and  other  classes  of  emi- 
grants were  introduced  into  the  community,  where,  from 
great  industry  and  perseverance  in  their  various  occupa- 
tions, they  were  soon  enabled,  in  their  turn,  to  aid  in 
bestowing  that  charity  to  others  which  had  succoured 
them  in  a foreign  land : accordingly,  the  German  Friendly 
Society  was  established  in  Charleston,  on  the  15th  Janu- 
ary, 1766,  at  the  house  of  Michael  Kalteisen,  who,  to- 
gether with  the  following  fifteen  gentlemen,  comprise  the 
Founders  of  it:  Melchior  Warley>  John  Swint,  Abraham 
Speidel,  John  Lehre,  Christian  Dus,  Charles  Gruber, 
Philip  Mintzing,  Martin  Miller,  Jacob  Briegel,  Daniel 
Strobel,  Conrad  Burckmyer,  Frederick  Hofe,  Eberhard 
Ehney,  John  Kelly  and  Frederick  Mattutz. 

Having  organized  themselves  into  a body,  in  order  to 
extend  more  amply  their  charitable  views,  their  first  con- 
sideration was  to  establish  the  principles  that  should 
govern  them,  and  to  form  a code  of  By-Laws  adapted  to 
those  views.  They  limited  their  number  from  five  to  five 
hundred,  and  required  no  other  qualification  from  the 
candidate  for  admission  than  that  he  should  be  no  less 
than  twenty-one,  nor  more  than  sixty-one  years  of  age, 
and  established  the  admission  money  as  follows:  each 
member  to  contribute  £3*  currency  until  twenty-three 
members  were  admitted,  then  £5f  until  there  should  be 
thirty,  then  1 guinea  until  there  should  be  forty,  then 
£10;|;  until  there  should  be  fifty,  then  £13§  until  there 
should  be  sixty,  then  £16 1| -until  there  should  be  seventy, 
then  £19^[  until  there  should  be  eighty,  and  then  £22** 
until  there  should  be  ninety,  and  then  £25ff  until  there 
should  be  one  hundred.  But  the  sons  of  those  who  were 
members  for  seven  years,  were  to  pay  one  guinea  en- 
trance. In  order  to  form  a fund,  a further  contribution 
of  5s.  ||  to  the  general  stock  was  exacted  from  members

present,  and  those  absent  one  half  of  that  amount,  should 
they  furnish  a sufficient  excuse  for  being  absent  from 
either  of  those  meetings.  At  each  weekly  meeting  the 
members  present  were  to  pay  Is.  3d.*  those  absent  double 
that  amount;  on  the  annual  and  quarterly  meetings  each 
member  was  to  pay  £1,  3s.  9d.,f  out  of  which  sum  a rate- 
able proportion,  not  to  exceed  3s.  9tf.J  for  each  member, 
was  allowed  for  refreshments,  and  the  balance  added  to 
the  general  stock;  but  the  whole  expense  of  each  mem- 
ber for  such  refreshments  on  those  days  was  not  to  exceed 
£1,  3s.  9 d.,  the  amount  of  his  contribution:  the  amount 
paid  at  the  weekly  meetings  was  Is.  3 d.  from  those  pre- 
sent, and  2s.  6d.§  from  those  absent;  added  to  this,  fines 
were  established  for  the  non-performance  of  duties  by 
the  officers,  and  deviations  from  propriety  by  the  mem- 
bers at  their  several  meetings;  the  Steward  (then  presi- 
ding officer)  and  Clerk,  7s., ||  the  Senior  and  Junior  Ward- 
ens and  Constables,  5s.*j[  each  for  absence,  unless  thej- 
were  out  of  town  or  sick.  If  a member,  however,  was 
sick,  or  obliged  to  be  out  of  town  on  the  annual  or  quar- 
terly meeting,  he  was  exempt  from  the  payment  of  the 
<£1,  3s.  9d.  for  the  entertainment  furnished  on  those  days, 
provided  he  gave  three  days’  notice  of  the  fact. 

So  anxious  were  the  Society  to  manifest  great  respect 
for  decorum,  that  they  resolved  to  guard  against  even  the 
most  remote  infringement  on  propriety,  and  to  repel 
every  invasion  upon  the  solemnity  of  the  cause  in  which 
they  were  associated.  They  therefore  very  early  passed 
rules  to  prevent  frivolity,  blasphemy,  and  to  restrain  re- 
ligious and  political  disputes,  well  aware  of  the  tendency 
these  discussions  have  to  sever  the  links  of  friendship, 
and  to  strike  at  the  root  and  foundation  of  an  establish- 
ment that  could  not  exist  amidst  dissension  and  discord. 
Shortly  after  being  thus  organized,  they  discovered  that 
they  had  omitted  to  limit  their  members  altogether  to 
Germans,  and  that  in  forming  a National  Society,  they 
had  overlooked  the  materials  of  which  it  was  to  be  com- 
posed, the  qualification  being  restricted  simply  to  the  age 
of  the  applicant.  A Rule  was  accordingly  introduced, 


*4  cents.  1 70  cents.  419  cents.  §8  cents.  ||  21  cents.  IT  15  cents.

INTRODUCTION.  $ 


that  none  should  be  admitted  as  members  but  native 
Germans,  or  such  as  were  born  of  German  parents,  and 
that  no  other  language  but  German  or  English  should  be 
spoken  at  their  several  meetings.  The  provision  of  the 
first  part  of  this  Rule  is  obvious.  In  excluding  all  other 
nations  from  membership,  they  must  have  had  reference 
alone  to  a desire  of  having  the  Society  purely  of  a na- 
tional character;  this  could  not  be  obtained  by  the  indis- 
criminate admission  of  natives  of  all  countries;  it  would 
have  been  an  innovation  upon  their  national  habits,  which 
they  also  wished  to  preserve,  and  in  limiting  their  chari- 
ty to  Germans  exclusively  beyond  their  members,  they 
could  not,  with  propriety,  exact  contributions  from  an 
American  or  Englishman,  to  be  devoted,  perhaps,  to  their 
own  pountrymen.  They  wished,  at  their  meetings,  to 
carry  their  minds  back  to  the  spot  of  their  nativity,  to 
have  an  unanimity  of  sentiment,  and,  if  possible,  to  be  as 
one,  indulging  in  little  eccentricities  and  harmless  amuse- 
ments, or  in  sober  sadness  and  sorrow,  as  occasion  might 
offer;  and  this,  to  them,  could  not  be  so  gratefully  felt, 
unless  it  coincided  strictly  with  the  habits  and  customs 
in  which  they  indulged  in  their  native  land.  To  have  ad- 
mitted other  than  their  countrymen,  would  have  broken 
the  delightful  charm  that  surrounded  the  conviviality  of 
their  meetings;  it  would  have  been  a restraint  upon  their 
independent  indulgences,  destroyed  their  identity,  and 
made  them  parts  of  a mass,  when  their  object  was  to 
compose  the  whole  of  it.  In  adopting  the  second  part  of 
this  Rule,  they  had  reference  to  the  preservation  of  deco- 
rum, and  to  check  conversations  in  languages  not  under- 
stood but  by  few  at  their  board.  It  was  to  guard  against 
exciting  suspicion  as  to  the  nature  of  those  conversations; 
to  prevent  misconstruction  on  the  part  of  those  who  might 
not  thoroughly  understand  the  language  in  which  they 
should  be  held,  and  to  avert  the  possibility  of  those  cir- 
cumstances engendering  a hostile  feeling  in  the  breast  of 
those  who  emphatically  styled  themselves  a “Friendly 
Society.”  The  reasons  upon  which  this  Rule  was  found- 
ed have  ceased,  and  with  them  the  Rule  itself.  As  our 
ancestors  passed  from  the  stage  of  life,  they  left  no  in- 
heritance of  habits  or  peculiar  German  feelings.  Born

in  another  hemisphere,  habits  congenial  to  that  clime 
soon  fixed  upon  their  descendants,  and  the  Rules,  from 
time  to  time,  became  so  altered,  as  to  conform  either  to 
the  exigency  of  circumstances,  or  as  more  enlarged  views 
would  present  themselves;  and  hence  the  qualifications 
for  admission  have  been  gradually  enlarged,  until  at  this 
time,  a native  German,  a native  of  a country  where  the  Ger- 
man language  is  currently  spoken,  or  the  husband  of  the 
descendant  of  a German,  may  be  admitted  a member. 

The  deviations  that  have  been  made  from  the  ancient 
landmarks  of  this  association  are  of  very  unimportant 
character.  Many  Rules  have  been  abolished,  the  reasons 
and  policy  of  which  have  long  subsided,  and  others  have 
been  added,  to  keep  pace  with  the  various  changes  that 
have  resulted  in  the  government  of  the  country  and  the 
alterations  of  the  habits  of'  our  people.  Charity,  the 
strong  and  solid  rock  upon  which  it  is  built,  we  now  ad- 
here to  as  firmly  as  when  it  wras  delivered  over  to  us  by 
our  worthy  founders;  and,  by  pursuing  the  example  of 
punctuality  and  prudence,  which  were  the  distinguished 
traits  in  their  management,  we  have  greatly  added  to  the 
superstructure,  and  raised  an  edifice,  grateful  to  the  sup- 
porters, and  cheering  to  the  humble  hearts  that  are  com- 
pelled to  seek  shelter  beneath  it. 

From  the  inconsiderable  amount  contributed  by  the 
members,  it  was  impossible  that  any  permanent  or  effi- 
cient charity  could  be  bestowed;  they  therefore  came  to 
the  conclusion  that,  as  a body,  they  would  not  dispense 
charity  until  seven  years  should  elapse,  and  pledged  the 
amount  they  might  then  possess  for  the  formation  of  a 
general  stock,  that  should  be  devoted  in  perpetuity  to 
the  objects  and  views  of  their  association.  In  the  course 
of  the  first  year,  the  whole  of  their  funds  were  £78,  14s. 
3d.,*  out  of  which  they  paid  £16f  for  a seal,  and  had  £50J 
out  on  interest.  At  the  end  of  the  year  they  had  in- 
creased to  £230,  14s.  6d.§  and  their  number  of  members 
to  37,  two  of  whom  died  in  that  year.  In  four  years 
after  their  establishment,  their  funds  amounted  to  £1,313, 
16s.,  ||  and  their  number  diminished  by  death  and  exclu-

sion  for  non-payment  of  arrears  to  32,  although.  49  had 
been  admitted  up  to  that  time. 

Towards  the  latter  part  of  the  year  1772,  preparations 
were  made  to  commence  carrying  into  effect  the  laudable 
intentions  cherished  by  the  founders,  in  establishing  a 
permanent  charity.  Accordingly,  on  the  28th  October, 
1772,  the  principles  upon  which  it  should  be  allotted, 
were  defined.  A Buie  was  formed,  that  no  charity  should 
be  given  from  their  funds,  but  to  one  who  had  been  a 
member  for  seven  years,  and  had  fully  paid  up  his  arrears 
to  that  time,  except  to  the  widows  and  children  of  de- 
ceased members;  that  no  charity  should  be  given  by  a 
majority  of  less  than  nine  members,  at  any  regular  meet- 
ing; to  give  no  more  than  £30*  to  any  petitioner  in  one 
year,  for  three  years  in  succession;  and  no  more  than 
£60f  to  any  one,  for  four  years  after  the  three  first  had 
expired ; and  to  avoid  too  great  an  exhaustion  of  the 
funds,  they  restricted  themselves  to  an  appropriation  of 
£168|  being  the  interest  of  their  whole  stock  at  8 per 
cent,  for  the  first  three  years,  after  which,  in  the  succeed- 
ing four  years,  they  limited  their  charity  to  the  interest 
of  what  their  whole  stock  should  amount  to  at  the  end 
of  the  three  years.  This  prudence  was  a manifestation 
of  great  foresight,  and  has  been  the  polar  star  that  has 
guided  the  Society  to  its  prelent  prosperity;  for  it  is 
manifest  that  no  fund  of  any  extent  could  be  created  if 
too  great  a draught  were  made  upon  the  contributions, 
and  certainly  none  could  ever  be  raised,  if  the  whole  in- 
come were  annually  absorbed.  The  step  was,  therefore, 
wisely  taken,  to  observe  the  most  rigid  economy,  and 
make  their  income  exceed,  as  much  as  possible,  their 
expenditures. 

A committee  on  charity  was  this  year  established  for 
the  first  time,  consisting  of  Michael  Kalteisen,  Abraham 
Speidel,  George  E.  Hahnbaum,  Christian  Sigwald  and 
Joseph  Kimmel,  and  the  principle  fixed,  never  to  touch 
any  portion  of  the  funds,  except  the  annual  income  ari- 
sing from  investments,  for  any  purpose  whatever;  and,  in 
all  cases,  to  restrict  the  expenditures  of  the  income.  The

whole  amount  of  tlieir  funds  at  this  time  were  £2,100* 
and  the  number  of  members  48,  although  81  had  been 
admitted,  and  this  Society  had  existed  but  seven  years. 
It  was  at  this  period  that  they  altered  the  title  of  their 
presiding  officer  from  “ Steward”  to  that  of  “President”; 
and  “Constables  ” to  that  of  “Stewards,”  and  established 
the  office  of  “Vice  President.” 

The  first  charity  dispensed  was  an  appropriation  of 
£35f  to  aid  in  burying  a deceased  member.  After  this, 
calls  were  seldom  made  for  assistance;  and  the  funds  had 
so  far  increased  as  to  enable  the  Society  to  indulge  their 
patriotic  feelings,  by  lending  to  the  State  of  Carolina,  in 
1777,  £1,300J  out  of  their  spare  funds.  Shortly  after  this 
a destructive  fire  raged  in  Charleston,  and  the  Society, 
anxious  to  relieve  those  of  its  members  that  may  have 
been  sufferers  from  it,  directed  the  committee  on  charity 
to  advertise  for  such  to  apply  for  relief.  It  does  not  ap- 
pear, however,  that  the  Society  was,  at  any  time,  called 
upon  for  this  purpose. 

The  expenses  of  the  annual  and  quarterly  dinners  hav- 
ing increased,  in  consequence  of  the  enhanced  price  of 
provisions,  arising  out  of  the  conflict  in  which  the  coun- 
try was  engaged  for  independence,  compelled  them  to 
augment  the  contributions  to  meet  that  object,  from  78 
cents  to  $1  81  for  dinner  and  liquors. 

At  this  time  they  made  a further  loan  of  £1,000  to  the 
State.  The  whole  of  their  funds  now  consisted  of  £4,600 
at  interest,  and  cash  £78,  8s.  2d.,  mating  £4,678,  8s.  2rf.§ 
the  number  of  members  being  49,  out  of  95  admitted  up 
to  this  period. 

In  1778,  the  members  having  amounted  to  100,  a scale 
similar  to  that  before  adopted,  was  graduated,  for  the 
admission  of  those  who  should  succeed.  It  was  then  es- 
tablished, that  the  admission  to  the  110th  member,  should 
be  £27||,  to  the  120tli,  £30^[,  to  the  130th,  £35**,  to  the 
140th,  £42ff,  and  then  to  the  150th,  £52|J.  In  this 
year,  the  first  regular  charity  was  dispensed;  to  the  wid- 
ow of  a member,  £25§§  were  allotted,  and  a private  sub- 
scription raised  among  the  members,  in  addition,  amount-

ing  to  £147,  17s.  6A*  The  sum  of  £150f  was  also  given 
to  the  committee,  to  devote  to  charitable  purposes,  ac- 
cording to  the  rules  of  the  Society. 

With  a view  further  to  increase  their  stock,  in  1779,  the 
contributions  were  increased  to  20s.|  at  the  annual  and 
quarterly  meetings,  and  10s.  at  the  weekly,  three-fourths 
of  which  were  to  be  applied  to  charitable  purposes. 

From  May  5th,  of  this  year,  until  the  succeeding  30th 
of  June,  no  meeting  was  held,  in  consequence  of  an  ap- 
prehension that  the  British  were  about  attacking  the  city, 
all  other  considerations  being  absorbed  in  devising  the 
proper  means  of  resistance.  The  excitement  being  tem- 
porarily allayed,  the  Society  met  as  usual,  until  the  spring 
of  1780,  when,  with  the  fall  of  Charleston,  their  opera- 
tions were  again  suspended,  nor  did  they  resume  them 
until  the  1st  of  January,  1788.§ 

The  disasters  and  troubles  of  war  had  now  ceased;  the 
clouds  that  had  lowered  upon  thq  happiness  of  our  coun- 
try had  given  place  to  the  glorious  effulgence  of  liberty ; 
and  the  fragments  of  an  association  that  had  been  scat- 
tered by  the  storm,  were  now  gathered  up  in  peace  and 
safety. 

At  the  time  of  resuming  their  benevolent  exertions,  the 
Society  was  worth  £5,985, 11s.  3d.||  having  previously  ex- 
pended £525,  10s. The  method  of  appropriating  chari- 
ty was  to  vote  a certain  sum  of  money,  at  any  meeting, 
which  was  confided  to  the  committee  on  charity,  who 
were  to  dispense  it  at  their  discretion,  according  to  rule. 

A committee  being  appointed  on  the  15tli  of  January, 
1783,  to  report  the  amount  of  the  stock  of  the  Society, 
from  the  commencement  of  it,  to  that  time,  rendered  in 
a statement,  by  which  it  appeared  they  were  pos- 
sessed of  £6,702,  in  bonds,  cash  and  paper  money;  £140 
in  specie;  £1,915,  interest  due;  the  whole  being  equal  to 
about  $5,875  71.

ument. It  is  the  report  of  a committee  on  the  causes  which  created  this 
interruption,  and  breathes  a warm  and  indignant  spirit  at  the  conduct

to  £162,  10s.,*  leaving  that  of  sons  of  members  as  here- 
tofore. The  annual  and  quarterly  contributions  were 
raised  to  £3,  5s.  f and  the  weekly  to  £1.  12s.  6d.  The 
fines  of  the  President,  Yice  President,  Treasurer  and  Sec- 
retary, for  absence  from  annual  and  quarterly  meetings, 
were  £1,  12s.  6d.J  and  the  Wardens  and  Stewards  20s.§ 
All  the  other  fines  were  increased  eight-fold. 

Mr.  Gerard  Teise,  a German,  residing  in  London,  this 
year  presented  the  Society  with  a seal  and  a copper-plate, 
for  printing  their  certificates  of  membership.  The  thanks 
of  the  Society  were  communicated  to  him,  and  in  testi- 
mony of  the  high  sense  they  entertained  for  the  kind 
feelings  manifested  by  him  towards  them,  made  him  an 
honorary  member  of  their  body. 

Although  the  Pules  of  the  Society  restricted  the  dis- 
pensation of  charity  from  their  stock,  yet  when  instances 
occurred  of  strong  cases  not  coming  within  their  sphere, 
they  were  ever  ready  as  individuals,  to  extend  aid  from 
their  private  funds,  for  at  this  time  we  find  a donation  of 
14  guineas  from  charitable  subscription,  in  behalf  of  one, 
who,  together  with  his  family,  had  arrived  in  the  coun- 
try in  a very  destitute  condition,  “arising  from  the  ca- 
lamities of  the  late  war,  and  from  his  perseverance  in 
the  late  glorious  struggle.” 

The  accounts  of  the  Society  were  now  ordered  to  be 
kept  in  sterling  money,  the  exchange  being  reduced  7 to  1. 

In  the  year  1785,  the  names  of  persons  on  the  bounty, 
were,  for  the  first  time,  reported  together,  from  which  it 
appears,  there  were  three  widows  and  three  children  re- 
ceiving aid,  and  that  £67  5s.  7d.||  were  dispensed  amongst 
them. 

In  consequence  of  the  great  depreciation  of  continen- 
tal money,  it  was  thought  proper  to  revise  the  admission 
money,  contributions  and  fines;  accordingly  on  the  22d 
August,  1787,  a new  system  was  adopted,  by  which  the 
admission  money  was  fixed  at  £5®[  sterling;  the  annual 
and  quarterly  contribution  of  members,  whether  present 
or  absent,  at  Is.  ;**  the  contributions  at  the  weekly  meet- 
ings of  those  present  at  4d.  and  those  absent  at  Gel.

INTRODUCTION. 


These  sums  were  appropriated  to  increase  the  stock,  the 
expenses  of  the  meeting  being  paid  by  the  members  in 
proportion  to  their  number. 

In  1788,  our  worthy  and  venerable  member,  Jacob 
Sa  ss,  presented  the  Society  with  the  large  mahogany  chair 
appropriated  to  the  use  of  the  President. 

Passing  through  a short  period,  we  arrive  at  the  year 
1791,  when  the  Society  became  incorporated.  At  this 
time  they  were  worth  £638,  15s.  Id.  in  cash,  and  bonds 
to  the  amount  of  £1,378,  Is.  2 d.  making  about  $8,643.58; 
but  finding  a total  failure  of  payment  of  interest  on  the 
bonds  which  they  held  for  many  years,  and  as,  in  many 
instances,  the  principal  sum  loaned  out  became  insecure, 
occasioned,  as  they  thought,  by  the  system  sheriff  sales’ 
bill  and  instalment  laws,  which  had  nearly  annihilated 
public  credit  and  private  confidence,  so  far  as  to  reduce 
the  value  of  bonds  50  to  60  per  cent,  they  passed  a rule 
authorizing  the  investment  of  their  funds  in  real  estate. 
In  the  year  1792,  the  Society  lost  £165*  in  the  payment 
of  premiums  for  exchange  of  money.  The  pensioners 
this  year,  were  reduced  to  four,  who  received  £48. f The 
number  of  members,  at  this  time,  amounted  to  50  out  of 
169  who  had  been  admitted. 

The  Society,  for  the  reasons  before  stated,  were  desi- 
rous of  investing  their  funds  in  a manner  that  would  in- 
sure them  more  punctuality  in  the  receipt  of  their  income, 
than  that  which  the  precarious  nature  of  bonds  afforded. 
In  1794  they  turned  their  attention  to  bank  stock,  and 
purchased  with  what  funds  they  could  spare,  six  shares 
in  the  South  Carolina  Bank,  the  only  institution  of  the 
* kind  then  in  Charleston,  for  which  they  paid  £10  medi- 
um per  share.  At  the  close  of  the  year  1795,  their  bank 
stock  had  accumulated  to  fifty-seven  shares,  the  cost  of 
which  was  $40.  ‘Witfy  this  increase  of  means,  objects  of 
charity  became  more  numerous,  and  at  the  anniversary  in 
1796,  we  find  the  number  to  have  risen  to  twelve,  who 
received  together  $319.04.  In  1797,  the  Society  owned 
one  hundred  South  Carolina  Bank  shares,  valued  at  $45 
per  share ; they  then  resolved  not  to  purchase  any  more

bank  stock,  but  to  vest  tlieir  future  funds  in  South  Caro- 
lina State  stock,  and  that  of  the  United  States,  which 
was  done  at  17s.  in  the  pound.  Two  years  after  this,  the 
Society  increased  their  charity  to  £155,  10s.  8 cl.  which 
was  distributed  amongst  eleven  pensioners;  the  Society 
being  then  possessed  of  £199, 11s.  Id.  in  cash,  and  £1,050 
in  bank  stock,  £1,276  in  bonds,  and  $3,381  in  6 per  cents.* 

In  the  year  1800,  the  qualification  for  admission  was 
enlarged,  and  embraced  descendants  from  the  male  line 
of  a member. 

The  meetings  of  the  Society,  after  the  first  few  years 
of  its  existence,  were  held  at  some  public  house  in  Charles- 
ton. From  being  frequently  compelled  to  shift  their 
quarters,  either  through  the  caprice  of  the  landlord,  or 
from  circumstances  connected  with  him,  they  turned 
their  attention  to  fixing  an  establishment  of  their  own, 
where  they  could  conduct  their  affairs  with  more  ease 
and  independence.  On  taking  a view  of  their  funds,  they 
ascertained  themselves  to  be  worth  $15,128  27,  in  bonds, 
bank  and  United  States  and  State  stock,  which,  with  the 
contributions  of  members,  yielded  them  an  annual  in- 
come of  $1,800.  In  this  calculation  all  doubtful  debts 
were  rejected. 

The  expenditure  for  charity  had  greatly  increased,  and 
was  now  $942  15,  which,  with  the  Clerk’s  salary,  $107  14, 
left  a balance  of  $751  71.  The  Society  then  unanimously 
resolved,  on  the  report  of  a ■committee  raised  to  ascertain 
the  expediency  of  the  measure,  as  well  as  the  means  by 
which  it  could  be  effected,  that  a lot  should  be  purchased, 
and  a plan  of  a building,  together  with  estimates,  should 
be  obtained,  and  that  the  Treasurer  should  call  in  pay- 
ment of  the  bonds  to  aid  in  meeting  the  contemplated 
expenditure.  The  lot  in  Archdale  street,  50  feet  front 
and  213  feet  deep,  was  purchased  for  $1,285  55,  and 
shortly  after  was  erected  upon  it  the  building  in  which 
they  now  assemble,  64  feet  long,  28  feet  wide,  and  2 sto- 
ries high.f  From  calculations  that  had  been  made,  it 

* $14,204.79. 

f The  Society,  in  1807,  purchased  the  lot  adjoining  theirs  to  the  south, 
having  the  same  front  and  depth,  for  $2,1-55,  affording  them  an  open 
space  of  100  feet  front,  by  213  deep.

INTRODUCTION. 


was  conjectured  that  the  building  would  cost  $4,285,  and 
so  much  had  been  applied  from  the  funds  for  that  pur- 
pose. But  from  improvements  that  had  been  adopted,  it 
was  found  that  there  would  be  a deficiency  of  $939;  the 
members  then  agreed  to  raise  that  sum  amongst  them- 
selves by  voluntary  subscription;  they  promptly  raised 
and  paid  $2,073,  $1834  of  which  were  paid  in  money,  the 
residue  in  donations  towards  improving  the  building. 
This  amount  not  only  enabled  the  Society  fully  to  com- 
plete their  object,  but  afforded  disposable  funds  for  the 
general  improvement  of  their  premises.  On  the  eleventh 
March,  1801,  the  corner-stone  was  laid  by  the  two  survi- 
ving founders,  Michael  Kalteisen  and  Daniel  Steobel, 
Sen.,  with  emotions  keenly  and  sensibly  portrayed  on  their 
venerable  countenances.  Tlieir  minds  at  the  moment 
must  irresistibly  have  been  led  back  to  the  first  founda- 
tion of  the  Society  itself.  A gradual  retrospect  of  all  the 
scenes  and  anxieties  incident  to  a state  of  war  must  have 
passed  in  review  before  them — the  recollection  of  the 
small  means  by  which  the  Society  was  first  commenced, 
the  increased  prosperity  it  had  arrived  at,  must  have  af- 
forded gratification  to  them  of  a nature  not  to  be  de- 
scribed: but  one  portion  must  have  been  of  a melancholy 
character — the  reflection,  that  of  all  who  gave  life  to  the 
institution,  they  stood  alone;  their  worthy  associates  were 
gathered  to  their  fathers,  and  it  seemed  as  if  it  was  left 
to  them  only  to  reap  the  delightful  sensations  afforded  by 
the  ceremonies  of  that  day — for  it  was  they  alone  who 
witnessed  its  rise  from  adversity  to  prosperity.  Captain 
Kalteisen,  in  an  address  he  made  on  the  spot  to  the  mem- 
bers and  citizens  who  had  assembled  to  witness  the  cere- 
ifiony,  made  these  remarks: 

“ The  most  sanguine  amongst  our  original  members 
never  looked  forward  to  the  pleasing  events  of  this  day, 
nor  anticipated  the  flourishing  condition  and  growing 
magnitude  of  our  finances;  they  have,  by  almost  imper- 
ceptible means,  exceeded  our  calculations  and  even  out- 
run our  hopes.  It  now  remains  for  us,  my  friends,  by 
wisdom  and  economy,  to  husband  the  rising  prospect  of 
felicity  to  thousands  of  our  fellow  creatures,  whose  grate- 
ful tears  will  embalm  our  memory,  and  eternize  our  pious 
fame.

“As  I had  the  honor  of  being  among  the  first  project- 
ors of  this  establishment,  I feel  uncommon  solicitude  for 
its  prosperity,  and  do  most  devoutly  pray,  that  the  great 
and  Eternal  Disposer  of  all  events,  whose  throne  is  mer- 
cy, and  the  happiness  of  his  creatures,  may  cast  a gra- 
cious eye  on  our  undertaking;  and  as  our  motives  are 
pure,  so,  O God ! prosper  these,  the  work  of  our  hands.” 

The  building  being  completed,  on  the  46th  of  Decem- 
ber, 1801,  the  Society  resolved  to  hold  their  "first  meeting- 
in  it;  and,  with  a view  of  celebrating  the  event,  the  com- 
mittee on  contracts  furnished  a dinner  in  the  new  Hall, 
at  which  the  two  surviving,  founders  presided,  one  as 
President,  the  other  as  Vice  President,  and  to  which  sixty- 
four  members  sat  down,  and  passed  the  day  in  the  good 
feeling  and  fellowship  so  well  calculated  to  be  inspired 
by  such  an  occasion.  A house  in  the  neighborhood  was 
provided  for  the  accommodation  of  the  widows  on  the 
bounty  of  the  Society,  in  which  they  partook  of  the  en- 
tertainments of  the  clay;  and  to  such  of  them,  as  through 
infirmity  or  sickness,  could  not  attend,  a portion  was 
sent;  so  that  “they  who  gave,  and  they  who  received,” 
all  partook  of  the  good  cheer  and  grateful  excitement  af- 
forded by  this  celebration. 

At  the  end  of  the  year,  notwithstanding  the  great  ex- 
penditures of  it, the  Society’s  funds  amounted  to  $12,782.26, 
after  paying  $827.81,  to  eleven  widows  and  children,  then 
on  the  bounty. 

Upon  the  completion  of  the  building,  Daniel  Strobel, 
Jr.,  of  Bordeaux,  presented  to  the  Society,  the  large,  and 
one  of  the  smaller  splendid  glass  chandeliers,  which  now 
so  brilliantly  adorn  the  Hall,  the  Society  paying  the  im- 
porting price  of  the  other;  making  a donation,  the  first 
cost  of  which,  in  England,  was  $800.  This  gentleman 
was  afterwards  constituted  an  honorary  member,  in  con- 
sideration of  the  attachment  he  evinced  towards  the  So- 
ciety, by  this  valuable  gift. 

On  the  8th  of  May,  1805,  Cleland  Kinloch,  Esq.,  pre- 
sented the  Society  with  two  hundred  and  fourteen  vol- 
umes of  German  books,  comprising  some  very  valuable 
works  in  the  various  departments  of  the  literature  and 
science  of  that  country.

INTRODUCTION. 


Iii  February,  1802,  upon  tlic  resignation  of  Jacob  Mar- 
tin, as  Treasurer,  that  office  was  undertaken  by  Jacob 
Eckhaed,  Sr.,  who,  for  a period  of  twenty-seven  years, 
has  discharged  the  duties  of  it  with  a degree  of  pre- 
cision, integrity  and  punctuality,  seldom  met  with,  and 
never  surpassed.  Iu  this  year,  the  Society  amounted  to 
99  member,  255  having  been  the  whole  number  from 
the  formation. 

On  the  7th “'of  December,  1806,  Daniel  Steobel,  Sr., 
one  of  the  two  surviving  founders,  departed  this  life, 
aged  73  years.  The  Society,  as  well  to  manifest  their 
respect  for  him,  on  that  acccount,  as  the  regard  and  es- 
teem cherished  by  them,  individually,  for  the  many  vir- 
tuous traits  that  adorned  his  character,  resolved  to  hang 
their  Hall  in  mourning;  and  at  their  request,  a member 
delivered  an  eulogium  before  them,  upon  the  life  and 
character  of  this  excellent  individual. 

On  the  3d  of  the  succeeding  November,  his  worthy 
colleague,  Michael  Kalteisen,  also  departed  this  life,  in 
the  79th  year  of  his  age.  According  to  his  request,  and 
by  a previous  resolution  of  the  Society,  his  remains  rest 
in  a sacred  spot,  within  the  walls  of  the  Society’s  pre- 
mises. The  members,  to  evince  their  respect  for  the  last 
of  the  founders  of  their  institution,  also  placed  their  Hall 
in  mourning,  and  a suitable  eulogium  was  delivered,  by 
a member,  on  the  occasion.  They  afterwards  erected  a 
neat  monument  to  his  memory,  near  the  spot  where  he 
lies  buried. 

The  Society  having  a spacious  building,  the  lower  part 
of  which  was  unoccupied,  a more  enlarged  sphere  of  op- 
eration presented  itself  to  view,  in  the  establishment  of 
a school,  not  only  for  the  purpose  of  educating  the  chil- 
dren of  members  upon  an  economical  plan,  but  by  raising 
a fund,  in  process  of  time,  greatly  to  enlarge  its  opera- 
tions. 

We  ai’e  indebted  to  the  intelligence  and  zeal  manifest- 
ed by  the  late  John  C.  Faber,  whilst  a member,  in  the 
pursuit  of  every  object  connected  with  the  prosperity  of 
the  institution,  for  the  projection  of  our  school.  Its  or- 
igin, like  that  of  the  Society,  was  of  a limited  and  hum- 
ble nature,  and  contemplated  nothing  more  than  the

23 


simple  rudiments  of  an  English  education.  It  was  justly 
foreseen,  that,  if  patronized  by  the  members,  after  pay- 
ment of  the  expenses,  a surplus  would  remain,  which, 
being  vested,  would  in  time,  enable  the  Society  to  extend 
the  course  of  education.  The  school  was  opened  for  the 
reception  of  the  children  of  members,  without  distinc- 
tion of  sex,  and  such  children  who  could  thereafter  be- 
come members,  although  their  fathers  were  not  so,  or  if 
females,  whose  brothers  could  become  members.  The 
teacher  was  bound  to  instruct  twenty-three  children, 
who  should  be  placed  at  the  school,  by  the  members  of 
the  Society,  and  twrnlve  on  his  separate  account;  but 
should  he  have  an  assistant,  he  was  authorized  to  extend 
his  own  number  to  thirty-seven,  making  in  all  sixty.  His 
salary  was  fixed  at  $440  per  annum,  together  with  the 
use  of  the  premises,  and  to  make  such  regulations  con- 
cerning his  own  pupils,  as  he  might  think  proper. 

The  school  was  opened  under  the  direction  of  Marl- 
borough Hamilton,  as  teacher,  on  the  3d  of  January, 
1803,  with  twenty-nine  scholars,  six  of  whom  appertained 
to  his  private  number.  At  the  end  of  the  first  year,  the 
balance  in  favor  of  the  school,  after  payment  of  all  ex- 
penses, was  $593.60. 

The  success  of  the  school,  and  extreme  punctuality  of 
the  members,  in  the  payment  of  the  tuition  money,  great- 
ly increased  the  funds  allotted  for  this  purpose.  With  a 
view  of  not  combining  the?  income  from  this  source  with 
that  received  from  members  to  be  devoted  to  charity,  a 
distinct  fund  was  created,  called  the  school  fund,  which 
was  alone  to  support  that  branch;  so  that  should  the 
operations  of  the  school  fail,  it  would  not  affect  the  chari- 
ty fund.* 

Previously  to  the  year  1810,  the  number  of  scholars 
appertaining  to  the  members,  generally  amounted  to  23, 
and,  at  some  times,  many  supernumeraries  were  paid  for 
by  them  separately,  or  were  upon  the  list,  ready  for  ad- 
mission whenever  a vacancy  should  occur,  until  January, 
1810,  when  the  school  opened  under  a new  teacher,  with 
but  twelve  pupils.  In  the  course  of  that  year,  however, 

*This  fund  is  denominated  in  the  Rules,  “The  Stock.” 


24 


INTRODUCTION. 


the  number  became  filled,  and  the  school  continued  rather 
prosperous;  until  the  year  1818.  In  the  intermediate 
time,  the  teacher’s  salary  was  raised  to  $640.  The  de- 
cline of  the  school  became  now  very  apparent,  and  con- 
tinued so  until  the  latter  part  of  the  year  1821,  when  it 
became  necessary,  in  order  to  retrieve  it,  that  a total 
change  in  the  system,  and  an  enlargement  of  its  exer- 
cises, should  be  adopted. 

In  January,  1822,  the  school  was  devoted  exclusively 
to  the  education  of  males,  and  opened  under  the  auspices 
of  Mr.  John  Haslam,  a gentleman  well  educated  and  high- 
ly suitable  for  the  station  to  which  he  was  called. 

The  school  became  immediately  so  completely  renova- 
ted by  him,  that  scarcely  a vestige  of  the  old  system  can 
now  be  discerned.  Thitherto,  English,  Latin,  Geography 
and  French  formed  the  whole  exercises  of  the  school; 
since  then,  English,  Greek,  Latin,  Geography,  Algebra, 
Mathematics,  Rhetoric,  Writing  and  Arithmetic,  are  taught 
in  the  most  efficient  manner.  The  Rule  still  remains  in 
force,  allowing  the  teacher  to  instruct,  on  his  private  ac- 
count, twelve  pupils  beyond  the  number  twenty-three 
paid  for  by  the  members;  and  should  Re  employ  a com- 
petent assistant,  that  number  might  be  increased  to  thir- 
ty-seven, the  price  of  whom  to  be  regulated  exclusively 
by  himself.  In  the  course  of  two  years,  the  applications 
for  admission  into  the  school  became  so  numerous,  that 
the  teacher  was  obliged  to  employ  an  assistant;  and  since 
that  time  to  the  present,  the  number  has  been  generally 
full;  and,  in  many  instances,  applicants  were  waiting  for 
vacancies,  in  order  to  be  admitted. 

The  school  had  its  origin  from  a desire  on  the  part  of 
the  members,  after  having  built  their  house,  that  the  low- 
er part  of  it,  consisting  of  one  large  and  one  smaller 
room,  should  be  occupied  as  school  rooms,  and  as  the 
free  rent  of  them  and  ilie  free  use  of  their  dwelling  house 
in  the  yard  would  ’be  an  object  to  a teacher,  the  necessary 
sum  to  be  paid  in  money  could  be  less  than  the  usual 
price  of  education  in  the  city.  It  was  deemed  proper, 
therefore,  that  the  school  should  be  so  established,  as 
that  the  sum  paid  by  the  members  should  be  somewhat 
more  than  the  ratio  paid  by  the  Society,  though  less,  if  the 


INTRODUCTION.

privileges  were  taken  into  consideration.  By  this  means, 
there  would  always  be  a balance  to  put  out  at  interest  an- 
nually, which  in  a series  of  years  would  increase  so  far  as 
to  form  a fund  that  would  enable  the  Society  to  place  the 
school  upon  the  most  extensive  and  useful  foundation. 

From  the  circumstance  of  this  being  called  the  “ Ger- 
man Friendly  Society’s  School,”  and  that  Society  being 
known  as  a charitable  body,  an  impression  for  a long  time 
had  gone  abroad  that  it  was  a charity  school.  Nothing 
can  be  more  erroneous  than  this  idea.  It  is  simply  an 
association  of  gentlemen  who  formed  a fund  for  educa- 
tion, to  which  each  who  sends  a pupil  to  the  school  should 
pay  $10  per  quarter,  when,  for  the  same  education,  he 
would  be  compelled  to  pay  $20  at  any  other  seminary  in 
the  city — and  even  those  educated  on  the  bounty  of  the 
Society,  have  always  been  paid  for  out  of  the  charity 
fund,  as  though  they  were  sent  to  any  other  school. 

It  may  be  remarked  as  a fact  highly  honorable  to  the 
punctuality  of  our  members,  that,  although  the  school 
has  been  in  existence  nearly  twenty-six  years,  and,  with 
the  exception  stated  above,  has  been  generally  full,  yet 
in  that  period  of  time,  the  Society  has  lost  but  $37  50 
by  non-payment  of  tuition  money.  This  fund  is  now 
worth  upwards  of  $8,000  in  United  States  and  other  stock. 

The  school  is  now  in  the  most  properous  condition, 
the  teacher  devoting  himself  to  its  interest  beyond  what 
is  required  of  him,  thereby  justly  guaranteeing  the  es- 
teem and  confidence  of  all  interested  in  the  prosperity 
of  the  establishment. 

In  the  year  1816,  Dr.  Philip  Tidyman,  of  this  city, 
made  a donation  to  the  Society  of  eleven  volumes  of  very 
valuable  books,  in  French,  German,  and  Latin;  he  made 
a further  donation  of  an  elegant  oil  painting  of  the  bat- 
tle of  Fort  Moultrie,  and  twenty-four  quarto  volumes  of 
Luther’s  Works  in  the  original  German.  These  are  books 
of  great  value,  and  with  those  previously  received,  render 
their  collection  of  the  literature  of  Germany  a very  de- 
sirable one.  This  gentleman  also  made  a donation  of 
$50  to  the  fund  for  the  relief  of  distressed  transient 
Germans.  The  Society  adverting  to  the  kindness  dis- 
played by  him  in  their  behalf,  unanimously  constituted 


26 


INTRODUCTION. 


liim  an  honorary  member  of  their  body.  The  same  ex- 
pression of  feeling  would  have  been  tendered  to  the 
other  gentleman,  but  death  had  removed  him  beyond  the 
reach  of  gratitude. 

Turning  our  attention  to  another  sera,  the  establish- 
ment of  the  “ Fund  for  the  Relief  of  Indigent  Transient 
Germans,”  presents  itself.  It  frequently  occurred  that 
applications  were  made  to  the  Society  from  Germans  ar- 
riving in  Charleston  in  a destitute  condition,  under  the 
idea  that,  as  a German  Society,  we  were  bound  to  bestow 
charity  upon  them.  The  Rules  precluding  us  from  touch- 
ing any  of  our  funds  for  such  purpose,  the  sympathy  of 
the  members  present  would  be  naturally  excited,  and 
generally  resulted  in  a voluntary  collection,  that  was 
given  to  the  applicant.  In  this  way,  numerous  imposi- 
tions were  practiced  upon  the  members,  and  charity,  in 
many  cases,  injudiciously  bestowed.  It  was  then  pro- 
posed, on  the  14th  day  of  March,  1821,  that  a fund  should 
be  raised,  for  charity  to  distressed  transient  Germans,  by 
increasing  our  quarterly  contributions,  by  subscription 
amongst  the  members,  Germans  not  members,  and  such 
charitable  citizens  as  might  be  disposed  to  further  the 
object.  To  aid  this  undertaking,  the  members  subscribed 
and  paid  $463;  Germans  and  their  descendants,  not 
members,  $208;  a collection  at  the  Lutheran  Church 
yielded  $86;  charitable  individuals,  not  of  German  de- 
scent, $20;  making  $777.  In  one  year  after  the  estab- 
lishment of  this  benevolent  fund,  Mrs.  Elizabeth  Frisch, 
widow  of  Charles  Frisch,  a deceased  member,  gave  a leg- 
acy to  this  fund  of  $1,000,  which,  with  the  interest,  has 
recently  been  paid,  and  makes  an  increase  to  it  of  $1,420. 
It  became  necessary,  to  prevent  imposition,  to  guard  well 
the  dispensation  of  charity  from  this  fund;  accordingly, 
it  is  limited  to  the  relief  of  such  Germans  as  should  im- 
mediately arrive  in  Charleston  in  a destitute  condition, 
without  having  obtained  a legal  residence  in  any  other 
State;  a committee  is  charged  to  make  rigid  and  impar- 
tial inquiry  into  the  condition  of  the  applicant,  and  re- 
port to  the  Society,  who,  thereupon,  allot  so  much  money 
out  of  the  interest  of  this  fund  as  they  may  think  the 
exigency  of  the  case,  requires. 


INTRODUCTION. 


27 


Some  years  previous  to  1822,  the  flourishing  state  of 
the  funds  enabled  the  Society  to  bestow  upon  its  objects 
more  than  $1,000  annually;  but,  since  that  time,  the  re- 
duction of  the  dividends  on  156  South  Carolina  Bank 
shares  to  $468,  has  compelled  the  Society  reluctantly  to 
reduce  the  widows’  and  orphans’  pittance  down  to  $920, 
for  the  present. 

The  German  Friendly  Society  has  risen  to  vigor  and  sta- 
bility, with  very  little  extraneous  support;  and  what  has 
been  received  was  within  two  years,  and  the  greater  part 
within  one  month.  Mrs.  Timmons,  the  widow  of  Lewis 
Timmons,  a deceased  member,  bequeathed  to  it  $200,  $150 
of  which  have  been  received;  $1000,  bequeathed  by  Mrs. 
Frisch,  as  before  stated,  and  $500  by  the  late  Thomas 
Karwon,  Esq.,  who  included  the  German  Friendly  So- 
ciety amongst  the  objects  of  his  bounty. 

The  Society  has  been  in  existence  nearly  sixty-three 
years;  its  whole  possessions  the  first  year  were  $46  90, 
and  at  this'  time  it  is  worth  upwards  of  $40,000;  and  to 
this  sum  its  funds  had  risen  before  any  donation  was 
ever  made  to  them:  taking  into  view  the  reduction  of  the 
value  of  one  hundred  and  fifty-six  South  Carolina  Bank 
shares,  and  the  diminution  of  income  from  that  source 
one  hundred  percent.  The  arrears  of  members  were  al- 
ways moderate;  but  it  was  to  the  rigid  punctuality  and 
payment  of  them  and  the  great  fidelity  of  those  entrusted 
with  the  money  concerns,  that  we  are  indebted  for  this  in- 
crease. It  is  confidently  believed,  from  documents  in  the 
archives  of  the  Society,  that  the  loss  it  has  sustained, 
from  members  excluded  for  non-payment  of  arrears, 
from  its  foundation  to  this  time,  exceeds  very  little  $100. 

The  Society  consists  of  one  hundred  members,  having 
from  its  first  establishment  admitted  three  hundred  and 
ninety-five,  and  now  pursues  its  objects  in  the  same  sys- 
tematic and  quiet  order,  which  characterized  their  pre- 
decessors, and  is  so  consonant  with  the  habits  of  those 
from  whom  they  sprung. 

It  cannot  be  expected  that  much  increase  in  its  funds 
can  take  place  for  many  years.  The  age  of  a Society  is 
npt  limited  like  the  years  of  a man ; for  its  parts  are 
continually  renovating;  and  although  the  materials  of 


28 


INTRODUCTION. 


which  it  is  formed  gradually  decay  aud  pass  into  oblivi- 
on, yet  it  can  still  flourish  in  the  vigor  of  youth;  and 
when  all  of  us  shall  have  been  called  to  a higher  associ- 
ation, hundreds  of  our  descendants  yet  unborn,  emula- 
ting the  example  of  their  ancestors,  will  be  able  on  a 
more  extensive  scale,  to  administer  comfort  and  relief  to 
many,  who  are  yet  to  open  their  eyes  upon  the  sorrows 
and  afflictions  of  this  world. 

Charleston,  October,  1828. 


Since  the  close  of  the  foregoing  sketch,  the  Society 
moved  on  slowly  in  its  improvement  and  usefulness  and 
nothing  of  note  transpiring  until  1842,  when  we  were 
called  upon  to  mourn  the  loss  of  a valued  member,  Mr. 
Jacob  F.  Mintzing.  He  served  for  many  years  as  Presi- 
dent and  ever  felt  a great  interest  in  the  welfare  of  the 
Society,  and  we  now  have  a very  correct  portrait  of  his, 
hanging  in  our  Hall. 

In  1847,  the  Buies  were  so  amended,  that  the  admis- 
sion fees  were  altered,  and  embraced  the  admission  of 
persons  of  every  clime.  Members’  sons  paying  $5;  per- 
sons marrying  members’  daughters,  $10;  Germans  and 
their  descendants,  $20;  and  others  with  no  German  de- 
scent, $30;  and  recently  the  annual  arrears  have  been 
fixed  at  ten  dollars. 

In  this  same  year  it  was  found  that  the  general  im- 
pression had  got  abroad  that  our  schools  were  charity 
schools  (although  it  was  a very  erroneous  opinion),  and 
it  had  the  effect  of  injuring  the  usefulness  of  the  schools 
and  they  were  abolished.  The  fund  is  now  kept  for  any 
future  disposition  that  may  be  made,  for  the  education 
of  the  members’  children. 

Our  worthy  benefactor,  Dr.  Tidyman,  continued  annu- 
ally to  give  us  a donation  to  our  Belief  Fund,  until  the 
year  1850,  when  he  left  his  home  for  Europe,  to  endeav- 
or to  restore  his  health.  He  had  safely  reached  Aber- 
deen, in  Scotland,  when  it  pleased  Almighty  God,  in  hig 
unsearchable  Providence,  to  call  him  from  the  state  of

29 


action,  far  from  liis  home  and  amongst  strangers.  His 
benevolent  feelings  towards  us  were  never  abated,  and  in 
his  last  will  and  testament,  he  bequeathed  to  the  Society, 
for  the  relief  fund,  5,000  dollars,  which  amount  is  sub- 
ject to  a contingency,  but  no  doubt,  will  eventually  be 
paid  to  the  Society.  The  Society,  in  great  respect  for 
his  memory,  had  a monument  erected  in  the  Hall  of  the 
Society’s  buildings. 

In  1858,  one  of  our  members,  Mr.  F.  Stall,  departed 
this  life.  He  had  been  a member  but  a few  years,  but 
feeling  a deep  interest  in  the  welfare  of  the  Society,  left 
us  in  his  last  will  the  sum  of  five  hundred  dollars. 

The  library  of  the  Society  now  contains  over  1,200 
volumes,  most  of  them  having  been  presented  by  the 
late  Dr.  Tidyman. 

The  Society  now  pays  out  annually  for  the  relief  and 
education  of  our  deceased  members’  widows  and  children 
about  thirteen  hundred  dollars. 

The  Society  now  numbers  over  100  members,  having 
from  its  formation  admitted  559. 

Charleston,  October,  1858. 


Up  to  the  outbreak  of  the  recent  war,  nothing  occurred 
to  mar  the  progressive  and  eminently  successful  career  of 
the  German  Friendly7  Society.  It  had,  for  a long  period 
of  years,  enjoyed  a high  degree  of  prosperity;  its  field  of 
usefulness  had  become  largely  expanded,  its  permanent 
funds  were  ample,  and  it  was  enabled  to  provide  for  the 
objects  of  its  bounty  in  a manner  highly  satisfactory  to 
an  intelligent  and  liberal  membership.  As  an  organiza- 
tion, venerable  in  years  and  in  good  works,  it  stood  high  in 
public  esteem.  Solid  in  worth,  conservative  in  its  aims, 
zealous  in  the  cause  of  charity,  it  proved  an  efficient  aid 
to  the  widow,  the  orphan,  and  the  stranger  from  afar, 
and  in  a high  degree  realized  the  fond  expectations  of  its 
founders. 

But  with  the  progress  of  the  war,  a change  began  to 
work,  which  soon  manifested  itself  in  the  condition  of  the 


30 


INTRODUCTION. 


Society.  The  summons  to  arms  called  into  the  tented 
field  large  numbers,  and  the  attendance  at  the  meetings 
grew  smaller  by  degrees.  In  the  course  of  time,  the  ter- 
rific and  destructive  bombardment  of  the  city,  which 
rendered  the  lower  portion  thereof  uninhabitable,  began. 
Tire  and  destruction  were  imminent,  and,  in  consequence, 
the  library,  records,  and  other  personal  property  of  the 
Society,  were  removed  to  a place  of  safety,  and  our  Hall 
was  closed,  as  it  afterwards  proved,  never  to  be  re-opened. 
The  regular  weekly  meetings  were  suspended,  and  at  ir- 
regular intervals,  and  in  various  places,  the  scanty  rem- 
nant of  membership  still  left  in  the  city,  would  convene 
for  the  transaction  of  such  urgent  business  as  required 
attention.  The  future  was  dark  and  foreboding,  and  to 
crown  the  disasters  which  had  come  upon  us,  our  cher- 
ished Hall  fell  a prey  to  the  devouring  flames.  On  the 
seventeenth  day  of  September,  eighteen  hundred  and 
sixty-four,  a fire  broke  out  in  Clifford  street,  which  caused 
great  destruction  of  property,  and  was  finally  communi- 
cated to  our  Hall,  in  Archdale  street.  Strenuous  exer- 
tions were  made  to  stay  the  progress  of  the  flames,  but 
the  efforts  were  futile,  and  the  Hall  was  entirely  con- 
sumed, nothing  remaining  but  an  unsightly  pile  of 
blackened  ruins,  to  point  out  the  spot  where  once  it 
stood. 

Our  Society  was  largely  represented  on  the  numerous 
battle-fields  of  the  late  war,  and  many  of  her  members 
received  painful  and  dangerous  wounds;  others  were 
captured  and  confined  as  prisoners  of  war,  and  three  of 
them  were  killed  in  battle.  Robert  A.  Blum,  a high- 
toned  and  gallant  young  man,  was  slain  on  the  fifth  day 
of  September,  1863,  in  the  defence  of  the  ever-memora- 
ble  Battery  Wagner.  John  Kxinck,  Jr.,  noble  and  exem- 
plary in  character,  fell  on  the  plains  of  Virginia,  in  a 
charge  on  the  Weldon  R.  R.,  on  the  21st  day  of  August, 
1864.  And  Theodore  A.  Klinck,  a brave  and  excellent 
youth,  was  wounded  in  Virginia,  at  the  battle  of  Seven 
Pines,  which  was  fought  on  the  31st  of  May,  1862,  was 
captured  and  died  of  his  wound,  in  Philadelphia,  11th 
June,  1862. 

Thus  three  of  our  members,  who,  in  the  purity  of  their 


INTRODUCTION. 


31 


lives,  and  in  the  prompt  discharge  of  the  duties  of  life, 
had  earned  for  themselves  the  respect  of  our  community, 
fell  in  the  bloody  fray,  leaving  as  a legacy  to  their  friends, 
pure  and  unspotted  characters. 

At  the  close  of  the  late  war,  the  Society  found  itself 
crippled  in  resources,  its  Hall  in  ruins,  and  its  member- 
ship scattered.  Fortunately,  a small  building  on  the 
premises  of  the  Society,  in  the  rear  of  the  old  Hall,  had 
escaped  the  flames,  and  this  was  fitted  up  as  a place  of 
meeting,  and  as  such  is  now  used.  In  common  with  the 
community  at  large,  the  Society  sustained  heavy  losses 
by  the  war,  in  its  bond  and  stock  investments,  amount- 
ing in  all  to  the  round  sum  of  $40,000,  and  it  was  found 
advisable  to  consolidate  the  school  fund  in  the  general 
stock  fund. 

Hope  in  the  future  and  faith  in  its  own  ability,  sus- 
tained the  Society,  and  gave  it  a new  courage  to  continue 
its  career  of  usefulness. 

On  the  seventeenth  day  of  January,  eighteen  hundred 
and  sixty-six,  the  Society  celebrated  its  first  centennial 
anniversary,  in  a manner  highly  appropriate  to  the  char- 
acter of  the  day.  In  the  forenoon  of  the  day,  the  Socie- 
ty, and  large  representations  from  kindred  Societies  of 
the  city,  assembled  at  St  John’s  Lutheran  Church,  where 
an  address  was  pronounced  by  the  Rev.  John  Bachman, 
D.  D.,  the  oldest  living  member,  who,  by  a most  singular 
coincidence,  fifty  years  prior  to  that  day,  on  the  occasion 
of  the  celebration  of  the  semi-centennial  anniversary,  as 
the  orator  of  the  day,  had  pronounced  a similar  address. 
The  day  was  one  for  silent  congratulations,  and  for 
thanks  to  that  kind  Providence,  whose  protecting  care 
had  preserved  our  existence  as  an  organization  through 
so  long  a series  of  years,  and  amid  such  general  destruc- 
tion as  surrounded  us  on  every  hand. 

Great  exertions  have  been  made  to  rebuild  our  Hall, 
and  during  the  year  1866,  a commodious  lot  was  pur- 
chased, on  Meeting  street,  with  a view  of  building  at 
some  future  day  upon  the  same. 

B}'  a resolution  of  the  Society,  the  portrait  of  the  Rev. 
Dr.  John  Bachman,  who  officiated  as  orator  on  the  occa- 
sions of  the  semi-centennial  and  the  centennial  anniver-

INTRODUCTION. 


saries  of  the  Society  was  painted,  and  now  hangs  in  our 
meeting-room,  along  with  those  of  Michael  Kalteisen, 
Jacob  Sass,  M.  Strobel,  Philip  Tidyman,  and  Jacob  F. 
Mintzino.  These  last  named  portraits,  together  with  the 
larger  portion  of  the  library,  and  other  valuable  proper- 
ty, were  saved  from  the  ravages  of  the  war  by  the  self- 
sacrificing  exertions  of  Capt.  Jacob  Small,  who,  for  seve- 
ral successive  terms  has  presided  over  the  Society,  and 
who,  in  the  discharge  of  his  duties  as  President,  has,  by 
an  energetic  zeal,  contributed  largely  to  the  resuscitation 
of  our  fallen  fortunes. 

A strong  hope  in  the  future  and  a firm  reliance  upon 
our  united  efforts  in  behalf  of  the  Society,  induce  us  to 
believe  that  prosperity  will  again  smile  upon  our  cher- 
ished institution.

following  objects  : All  native  Germans,  who  may 

hereafter  arrive  in  Charleston,  in  an  indigent 
and  destitute  condition,  and  are  not,  and  have 
not  been  residents  of  any  of  the  United  States  of 
America,  shall  be  considered  objects  of  relief 
within  the  view  of  this  Rule,  and  may  receive 
such  assistance  from  the  fund  established  for 
that  purpose,  and  from  no  other,  as  the  Society 
may  think  tit  to  bestow. 

Mode  oir  ap-  Every  person  coming  within  the  foregoing 
forreftcf.  description,  desirous  of  soliciting  aid  from  the 
aforesaid  fund,  shall  apply,  by  letter,  to  the  So- 
ciety, setting  forth  the  peculiar  circumstances 
of  his  or  her  case,  whereupon  the  Society  shall 
refer  such  application  to  tho  Committee  on  Re- 
Duty  or  the  lief;  whose  duty  it  shall  be  to  inquire  minutely, 
on  relief,  rigidly  and  impartially  into  the  subject;  and  if 
it  shall  appear  to  them  that  the  representation 
of  such  applicant  is  true,  and  that  he  or  she 
comes  strictly  within  the  view  of  this  Rule,  they 
shall  so  report  to  the  Society,  at  the  next  meet- 
ing, who  may  grant  such  relief  as  the  exigencies 
of  his  or  her  case  may  require,  and  the  state  of 
the  funds  warrant.  Should  the  applicant,  upon 
an  investigation  made  by  said  Committee,  be  in 
so  deplorable  a condition  as  imperiously  to  de- 
sire immediate  relief,  the  Chairman  thereof  may 
draw  upon  the  Treasurer,  for  his  or  her  use,  for 
a sum  not  exceeding  Five  Dollars,  wThick  they 
shall  state  to  the  Society,  at  the  next  meeting 
thereafter.  But  should  it  so  happen  that  the 
applicant’s  exigencies  admit  of  no  delay,  he  or 
she  may  apply,  by  letter,  to  the  presiding  officer

motion,  be  appointed,  to  prepare  an  entire  new 
code  of  Rules,  or  such  alterations  or  additions

strike  out,  alter  or  amend  any  reported  Rule,  or 
part  thereof;  in  which  case,  the  subject  of  such 
motion,  alone,  must  be  discussed.

A FRIENDLY  SYMPOSIUM. 


THE  128th  A NNI  FIS  JR  8 ARY  OF  THE 
GERMAN  FRIENDLY  SOCIETY. 

The  Dinner  and  tlie  Toasts— The  Election 
of  Officers— A Presentation. 

Tlie  one  hundred  and  twenty-eighth  anni- 
versary of  the  German  Friendly  Society  yes- 
terday was  celebrated  in  a manner  altogether 
worthy  of  and  appropriate  to  the  memorable 
occasion.  At  noon  the  Society  met  in  th® 
Freundscbafts  Bund  Hall.  The  regular  busi- 
ness brought  before  the  meeting  each  year  wa  5 
promptly  disposed  of,  and  the  reports  of  the 
officers  showed  that  all  the  affairs  are  in  a 
most  prosperous  and  flourishing  condition. 

The  president  stated  that  the  friends  of  the 
late  John,  Andrew  Blum,  appreciating  his 
long  and  faithful  services  in  the  best  days  of 
the  Society’s  past  history,  desired  to  have  him 
associated  now  as  he  had  been  for  thirty-nine 
years  as  secretary  with  Mr  J.  F.  Schirmer, 
the  contemporaneous  treasurer,  and  he  had 
been  commissioned  to  present  to  the’ISociety 
his  portrait;  asking  that  it  be  placed  by  the 
side  of  Mr  Schirmer’s  portrait. 

Capt  W.  M.  Muckenfuss  made  a brief,  appro- 
priate speech  accepting  the  gift  on  behalf  of 
the  Society,  and  on  his  motion  the  following 
preamble  and  resolutions  were  unanimously 
adopted : 

A FAITHFUL  OFFICIAL. 

Whereas,  the  friends  and  admirers  of  our 
former  secretary,  John  Andrew  Blum,  who 
served  in  that  capacity  for  more  than  thirty- 
eight  years  faithfully  and  well,  have  pre- 
sented to  the  German  Friendly  Society  his 
portrait  in  oil,  handsomely  framed : 

Be  it  resolved,  That  this  Society  receives  | 
with  pride  and  gratification  the  portrait  and 
that  the  same  will  be  suspended  from  our 
walls  by  the  side  of  our  former  officials. 

Resolved,  That  the  thanks  of  the  Society  be 
and  are  hereby  tendered  to  the  members  who 
i have  presented  this  much-prized  and  valued 
gift. 

The  portrait  is  a magnificent  likeness  in  oil. 
It  is  full  life  size,  and  is  a fine  specimen  from 
the  brush  of  Artist  P.  P.  Carter.
